About

The roots

One of the classic representatives of the first-person shooter genre. Designed and released in 1996 by the authors of the groundbreaking game Doom - iD Software. This is the first game to start the still ongoing series. Unlike its famous predecessor, the game uses an engine capable of rendering full-fledged 3D: the game supports an earlier version of 3D acceleration through OpenGL. After moving to a new engine, the game needed a new control scheme: the movement is now possible in all three directions, including the vertical axis. This feature added to the game an additional difficulty: player have to expect the enemy attack from any direction. The game also has a full-fledged multiplayer, the previous version of which the Doom players liked.

Key features

In a single player campaign, the player takes control of the main character named Ranger, who went to the portal in order to stop the unknown enemies, code-named Quake. The plot of the adventure consists of 32 separate levels. Six more maps are available in multiplayer for the battles between the players for deathmatch mayhem. Two mission packs were released for the game, which adds new enemies, new levels, new maps, new weapons and a new experience for players to the original game. Both packs were greatly received by both players and critics.

Quake reviews and comments

Quake is a perfectly solid shooter, especially for 1996. I have no particular issues with the game. However, I fail to see it as the masterpiece it is frequently presented as. It feels as though little innovation has occurred in the two years since Doom 2, as Quake plays nearly identically to it. The change of setting is nice, and the movement is a little more fluid, but that's really it. The tech honestly feels less impressive than that of System Shock, also released two years before Quake. If you just want more Doom, then Quake is for you. If you're expecting a true evolution of Doom, though, I don't think you'll find it here. 
Gameplay 9/10. Graphics 9/10. Soundtrack 7/10. Storyline 7/10. OVERALL 8.0/10.0 (A 8.0)
