    A worthwhile look for the retro-curious keen to scratch a Doom itch they didn’t know they had while dusting down a transitional fossil in the evolution of our industry. Just check your expectations at the door though: for the big smile it will give you when you hear those SFX, the frustrations of frequent freezes and fiddlesome controls will test your patience.

While the game maintained the typical run-and-gun mechanic that made Doom such a classic, Strife adds elements of adventure games and RPGs. Additionally, the open world hub map added a sense of freedom that many of the more linear FPS of the time were sorely lacking. Unfortunately, the graphics were even dated for their time (this was released the same year as Quake, Tomb Raider and Duke Nukem 3D) and seem jarringly out of place compared to the well-done comic book cutscenes and character portraits. Still, Strife remains a curiously engaging classic FPS that stands the test of time far better than the vast majority of its contemporaries. If you are a fan of retro-FPS than I highly suggest giving Strife a shot. Expand
