Really a product of its time, but also very charming. It does have its flaws of course, but every first in series' has. Music was really good, although there's only a few tracks. Encounter rate was really the most annoying thing. Hard to recommend to everyone since I know that people that are accustomed to modern games will probably not really like it, but one can always try and see, be it for the history then.

Finished on Nightmare as well as on Normal. In retrospect it feels like the next obvious step after DOOM, but the truth is not often that clear. Too many game companies aren't able to make a good follow up for anything. ID is of course of another breed, just glad that it feels good years later and the new source port is great way to experience this right now.

Completed while playing all of the big build engine games. I mean just a classic. Not sure if I like this more than Shadow Warrior, probably tho. Played the base game, and the expansions. The expansions levels were not that remarkable but still worth playing and they have fun themes. I have a bias for build engine games, I just love them.

Played all of the episodes, Cryptic Passage and Death Wish. Possibly the best FPS game ever? Easily the best Build engine game. Enemy design and style is just so spot on that it's easy to be a fan. So satisfying to play, even tho it's harder than your average FPS. My favourite especially is the sound design, all of the voice lines just perfect. Why am I even saying anything, just go play it.

It's very interesting to see how far we've come, but if I'm really honest, level design in this can really be grinding your gears. It's understandable tho, since the choices were really limited when it came to the engine possibilities. Enjoyed this mostly, but the last chapter was tedious. Recommended for anyone interested in retro shooters or history of fps games.
