the base of a good game is present, but there's just too many things preventing me from having a blast.

- the game is too dark. i understand probably by design, but when most of the game is dimly lit areas, it starts to get grating
- gun feel is off. it's not all bad but every gun is just missing kind of a final oomph to get over the finish line
- levels are way too long. would be way more enjoyable if they were shrunk to half the size they are. secrets in games are nice, but it feels like levels are designed to be labyrinths just because they wanted to stick 20 secrets in there
- it's not an easy game. i don't expect a game to owe me a free win, but even on easy you gotta put in the work to get anything done

on the upside, the power ups are a cool idea and can be game changing when used correctly, and the default blade feels good to use. on that same note, it also feels too good to use because the dash attack mulches way more enemies than even the stronger guns arguably should.

i'd recommend it on sale if you are an absolute Quake fanatic but other than that i don't know, i don't think it's particularly remarkable, unfortunately
