For a free game, I really shouldn't complain too much, but I wish I enjoyed Ashes: 2063 more.

I found the motorcycle parts almost entirely pointless as there wasn't much to do (aside from very brief, infrequent stops) and some of the level design was convoluted to me, especially anything in sewers or tunnels. The gameplay is pretty classic Doom stuff, I enjoyed that a bit, but with levels too long and confusing, I just eventually got sick of it.

There's a good deal of work put in here, with things like nice visuals, jokes, even a bit of light roleplaying with conversation options (though I found these parts to be absolute killers of pace).

If you like really GZDoom stuff, I'd say check this one out, it's free and you can get a standalone download on ModDB. It's probably not for most people, though.
