Great remaster for a great game. Love the aesthetic, gameplay, level-design, weapons, etc.
Later levels tend to spam a bunch of spongey enemies and you'll eventually start to see no weak ones at all which I felt was a shame since the enemy variety just felt bleh in the later levels.
I can't stand the jumping blob enemy and they spam so many in the last few levels.
The music was great and atmospheric, Trent Reznor did a great job with it and I love it.
Now I played this immediately after playing Half-life cause I wanted more old-school 3D shooter and it just felt like more of that but with a doom-y arena shooter vibe to it rather than the slight survival horror styled arena shooter that half life was (which half-life was made with the quake engine). It was great and I enjoyed it.
As for my console of choice I really just wanted to play Quake portably but that doesn't mean I can't use keyboard and mouse on it if I wanted to. Nightdive made a great choice implementing K&M to the console versions, especially since they kept deathmatch in the game. Also crossplay between all the consoles and PC is super sweet. On top of all that having DLC of fan mods was a really sweet edition I wouldn't have expected from this on consoles. Lets me play more Quake if I really want to.
To wrap things up, this is a great way to play Quake on modern platforms and that's all it needed to be, and then some.
