    Oh wauw that was a fun experience. You can play this game over and over again, hours, days and even months and I am not even done yet. This is definitely the best first-person fast paced arena shooter ever made. Plenty of different game modes and awesome maps to participate in. There are champions for every single taste and weapons as well and medals to aim for as well as achievements. IfOh wauw that was a fun experience.

    Es handelt sich um meine erste Bewertung hier bei Metacritic. Warum mache ich mir die Mühe? Ich bin Mitte 30, habe vor Jahren mit einem Intel Pentium (150 MHZ) und einer Voodoo2-Grafikkarte ein Spielgenere für mich entdeckt: Shooter! Genauer Quake III. Damals ging es um FPS, weshalb Texturen zum geht nicht mehr runtergeschraubt wurden. Hauptsache 30 FPS mehr.

    Fast, fluid and very polished for an alpha (maybe beta) game. The base price of 30 bucks isn't bad and it unlocks all champions and future champions.

    Visuals are slick and the frame rate is very high, 980 ti with a 1440p 144hz monitor and it averages 115-130fps maxed. it is clear the developers are trying to keep the spirit of quake alive and perform well on a multitude of machines. Very different from PUBG, fortnite and overwatch, if you are looking for something different from those 3 and want something fast with a pretty good community check it out.

    Wish it had more options for custom matches, but having bots now is a good way to hone your skills. the bots TDM list (players vs bots) are kind of meh at this point as each bot AI is random. One game you will have 3 nightmare level bots and 1 avg bot, or 4 stupid easy bots who kill themselves over and over again and cannot hit the broad side of a barn,    … Expand

    Fast, hardcore, skilled and fun game from Saber Int. and Bethesda.

    This game gets the old school arena fps experience and brings to us one of the best competitive fps game ever made. Netcode along with servers needs more development. New champion stuff is not balanced as it could be but Saber keeps working on find the perfect or best experience to hardcore fps fans.

    If you like fast paced competitive shooters this is as hardcore as it gets. Even though it's easy to start playing, the skill ceiling is very high. Reaching milestones on your way to a virtuoso player (like landing rockets mid-air with trajectory predicting shots or hitting enemies with flickshots from railgun) is a very rewarding experience.

    This game looks and sounds amazing. The level design is fantastic, the artists created mesmerizing bizarre looking worlds with so much attention to detail. The character and weapons models are equally good. Weapons sound very satisfying, and so does the announcer's voice.

    The game is well optimized. On RTX 2070 on Ultra settings with 70% of 4K resolution (slightly higher than 1440p) I get around 90 to 120 FPS and have no problem maintaining 144 FPS on my other full hd monitor in all situations.

    Some people have been complaining about balance and technical issues. Many of those complaints were deserved and have been addressed since 2017 when the game was released. Some still don't like the idea of champions, but if champions were truly unbalanced, people would gravitate towards certain champions or use the single best champion, but that's not happening. Even active abilities of the champions can be disabled, if you don't like them. I find that some members of the community are overly and bitterly critical. Don't let that deter you from trying out this awesome game. It's free, beginner friendly and lots of fun.    … Expand

    Excellent arena shooter, with the latest updates (Spring 2019) topped Quake 3 for me. The only drawback is that pricing is a bit steep, and there are still bugs to be found. Other than that, it's the best MP arena shooter out there.

    An excellent, fast paced arena shooter with a fun cast of characters with unique abilities and perks. Pros: Tons of Unlockable cosmetic items/skins; Daily challenges; Great character design; Bots; Excellent map design.
    Cons: Multiple in game currencies; Loot boxes; Some skins don't suit all of the characters.

I avoided Quake 3 Arena because of that direction it took and it looks like they have **** it up again with this one so I have zero intentions of playing this trash I hope they do another story driven Quake game in the future but it looks unlikely at the moment. because of this stupid multiplayer only trend.

    If you enjoy Quake's fast-paced, brutal fun, then you will probably enjoy Quake Champions. Let's start off with the bad part.

Another problem is that the game has premium currency but the loot-boxes can help you get items too. The gameIf you enjoy Quake's fast-paced, brutal fun, then you will probably enjoy Quake Champions.

Another problem is that the game has premium currency but the loot-boxes can help you get items too. The game has these "Champions" that you can choose to battle but never fear! They don't ruin the gameplay and the special abilities the champions have are sort of a last ditch effort. This is a Quake game, So, the skill gap and learning curve is straight up BRUTAL. If you want to get good, you gotta spend a little while playing. Unfortunately if you are new, you won't go one game without getting wasted from all sides by some pros but I consider this a good thing. The game is very competitive as well as quite fun. Overall if you enjoy the classic FPS games, then you will enjoy this. I hope the game continues to improve in quality as updates continue to drop by.… Expand

    The game features the "loot boxes" system which work like this; if you play the match well then you'll be rewarded with a loot box or you can buy them with coins from the game that can be acquired with real world dollars and those coins can help you to unlock more champions like B.J Blazkowics to play, you can still unlock them with other coins (which i forgot it's name) but you can acquire those by winning matches or had the best number of kills.
    The loot boxes contains what you expected, cosmetics like icons for your account, clothes or armor for your champions, camos for the weapons, etc, just like a Call of Duty game.
    The way that this game sells itself (for my point of view) it's stupid, if you buy the base game which price is about 37 dlls you can only access to 2 maps, so, you will be playing the same 2 maps over and over again unless you buy the starter pack (4.99 dlls) and you can't access custom games like to play with bots or with your mates in a LAN party (bullocks!) and there is one last pack to buy, the champions pack (another 37 dlls) that grant you total access to more maps, more play modes and coins to unlock champions, weapons, etc.
    Is the game bad? well... no, it is fun to play and it is the classics 90's multiplayer, but unless you buy all the previous packs you won't have the full experience or the real experience that you should get with the base game.    … Expand

    just like with Diabotical Quake Champs has barely made a dent in the online multiplayer gaming space, So needless to say, arena shooters are pretty much done and over with, and there's plenty of other mainstream games to play instead at this point.

They should have just released a state of the art graphical Quake with the same netcode/movement as loved by the fans with a fair playing field across the board with the same odds for everyone, with graphically improved classics and new maps, and free to play with the occasional cosmetics/texture packs/banners/avatar pictures, to truly elevate this into the mainstream Esport and BAM they would have been leagues more successful than this misery of a game.
