Yep, I definitely prefer Quake II. [Future Nilichi: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?] I'm not so fond of how tanky the small enemy roster is. The environments have great vibes, but coupled with Trent choosing an ambient style, the encounters feel far slower and less intense.

Dimension of the Machine is a great addition to the canon. I particularly dig the visual fidelity on display in the hub world. I want more games with this crunchy style and nice lighting effects. There's an above average level of environmental details in the hub that I wish carried over to more of the rooms within the levels, though that's a luxury that the action carries on just fine without.

I'm docking a point for no LAN in this port.
