Don't do what I did. Had quite a lot of fun with this, but as a first time player I thought it'd be fine to play everything in this Remaster all at once.

There are four separate expansions plus the base game. Those levels are also seemingly harder and much, much longer then anything in the normal campaign. Two of those expansions have new weapons to play with, but it's still a lot of Quake. You're fighting the same enemies repeatedly. They're well designed and challenging (maybe except the v*re since I find them more obnoxious then a fun obstacle, yes they are called THAT) but its still very repetitious, and it starts to feel like your going through the motions. I realized I was getting burned out when I was instinctively quicksaving after every room because I just didn't want to repeat anything, and I tried to limit quicksaves when I started.

My advice, split this Remaster into chunks. I normally like to play most of a game before reviewing it, I've beaten about half of this entire package, but I'm exhausted at this game and want to put it down for the time being. I did this to myself more then I'm blaming the game. Someday I do want to finish everything, but it ain't going to be for a while.
