Apr 25, 2026A Timeless Classic That Still Packs a Punch
Quake defined a generation of FPS games with its lightning-fast action and groundbreaking multiplayer. While the graphics are dated by modern standards, the core gameplay is incredibly tight and the modding community keeps it fresh. It's a blast to play through the dark, atmospheric campaigns or jump into some classic deathmatch.

Apr 20, 2026An Absolute Game-Changer That Still Holds Up
From the moment I fired up the original Quake back in '96, I knew gaming would never be the same. The fast-paced, skill-based combat is timeless, and the dark, atmospheric levels are still genuinely creepy. The sheer impact this series had on multiplayer gaming, from pioneering proper 3D environments and client-server models to establishing a competitive modding scene, is undeniable. Even playing the modern re-releases today, the core gameplay is just as satisfying and intense as it ever was.

Apr 19, 2026A Pioneering Legacy with Some Aging Scars
Quake's impact on the FPS genre is undeniable, offering intense, fast-paced action with a uniquely dark atmosphere that still holds up. However, the older titles show their age with clunky controls by modern standards, and the recent remasters, while welcome, sometimes feel like they're just polishing a classic without adding much new substance.

Apr 19, 2026A Pioneering But Dated FPS Series
The Quake series is an absolute legend that defined and refined multiplayer FPS gaming, and the fast, skill-based combat still holds up incredibly well. However, the older titles can feel very dated in terms of graphics and single-player level design by modern standards, and the steep learning curve for new players is real. It's a fantastic piece of gaming history, but your mileage will vary heavily depending on your tolerance for retro aesthetics.

Apr 19, 2026A Classic That Hasn't Aged Well
As a gamer who didn't grow up with this series, trying to get into the original Quake today is a frustrating experience. The controls feel clunky and dated, and the dark, murky graphics make it hard to even see what I'm supposed to be shooting at. While I respect its historical importance, I found it more of a chore to play than an enjoyable experience.

Apr 18, 2026A Timeless Blast from the Past That Still Kicks Butt
From the moment I booted up Quake, I was thrown back into the perfect, fast-paced chaos I remember. The dark, atmospheric level design and the satisfyingly crunchy weapons are still unmatched. Its influence is undeniable, and even today, the core gameplay feels more solid and intense than many modern shooters.

Apr 13, 2026Dated and Abandoned
As a newcomer, I found the original Quake games incredibly hard to get into. The graphics and controls feel archaic, and there's zero official support for getting them to run smoothly on modern systems. The legendary multiplayer is a ghost town unless you're deeply embedded in the community, and for the price of the re-releases, you don't get much value if you're looking for a solo experience.

Mar 20, 2026A Historical Relic That Hasn't Aged Well
I appreciate Quake's legacy, but trying to play it today is a clunky, frustrating experience. The dated graphics and controls feel incredibly stiff compared to modern shooters, and setting up multiplayer is more trouble than it's worth. For a new player, it's just not an enjoyable or accessible way to spend time or money.

Mar 15, 2026Feels Like a Dated, Unforgiving Grind
As a modern gamer, I was excited to try this legendary series, but it's a slog. The graphics and controls feel incredibly dated and clunky, making the fast-paced action more frustrating than fun. The dark, repetitive levels and lack of clear direction left me lost and annoyed rather than immersed. For its price, it feels like paying for a history lesson I didn't want.

Mar 13, 2026Still an absolute blast after all these years
I've been playing since the original release and the series still holds up incredibly well. The fast-paced, skill-based combat never gets old, and the modding community keeps things fresh even for the older titles. It's amazing how much these games influenced the entire FPS genre.
