After being pretty underwhelmed by most of the Quake 1/2 expansions so far, this one kind of blew me away. Dimension of the Machine has some extremely good map design that takes full advantage of Nightdive's enhanced Quake 1 engine, both in terms of the visual grandeur and the sheer size of them. Each of the 5 worlds has its own distinct theme and feeling, and there is some really great environmental storytelling in them, far beyond what id ever did in the base game. There are even some heavily implied story connections to Quake 2, a very bold move considering they were obviously never meant to be in the same universe. Makes me pretty excited to see if they expand that idea in Quake 2's Call of the Machine expansion.
