    The worst quake hands down. Id Software turned the golden gameplay formula they had with Quake 3 and Quake Live into a microtransactions laden, hero shooter ( variable abilities and HP/Armor/speed stats/hitboxes) with a movement that feels like you play a tank, with subpar maps and a few classic ones that they butchered (prettier graphics but small geometric details on every wall/door etcThe worst quake hands down. Id Software turned the golden gameplay formula they had with Quake 3 and Quake Live into a microtransactions laden, hero shooter ( variable abilities and HP/Armor/speed stats/hitboxes) with a movement that feels like you play a tank, with subpar maps and a few classic ones that they butchered (prettier graphics but small geometric details on every wall/door etc hamper the flow often by stopping you mid movement/air, with ceilings that are too small, with too many open spots and holes that oversee the entire maps (destroys the tactical/strategic aspect of many maps), with worse icon and weapon design, with rockets that are faster or as fast as usual but feel too fast with the heavy slow movement and are hence harder to evade, the accessibility settings suffer because of the cosmetic nature of the game, the netcode is so **** that I still truly believe that it's the sole reason they slowed down the movement speed and soooo much more. 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. I gave this game so many chances over so many years. Just sad. Expand

    long story short, it's Quake 3 arena infused with Overwatch.....and Overwatch plays a lot better than this unsorted mess that's note even using the in-house IDtech 6 game engine or whatever was used for Doom 2016/Eternal.

So far since 2017 it's been a hit and miss with the community in general, some like it, others don't? it's been out of early access for awhile and there's hardly been any good updates done to it. also not to mention a very isolated community means matchmaking will be pretty bad as well for newcomers as skill differences with Quake pro's and newbies are massively distant should anyone else decides to join after dodging many issues with the game itself, you're been warned.

    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.

    R.I.P. for Quake i guess....

    Despite the fact that my rating is 9, I will wildly criticize Bethesda for the fact that she does not fight cheaters in any way, of which there are a lot of people in the game!

    It was only through the efforts of sending angry letters to them wherever they could every day that they began to more or less ban outright aimbot and speedbot and out-of-hit-bots players. But still, their number

    In terms of graphics, mechanics and gameplay, in my opinion this is the best arena shooter. Minus point - for cheaters and not so rarely buggy sound

    There are not enough servers in the game - this is the source of all the problems in it today.
    Thank you, Saber Interactive! You've done the impossible.

    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.

If you are new to this kind of game there is a "Practise Mode" where you can test your skills with bots also if you are use to singleplayer mode like Quake, Quake II and Quake IV this is a perfect way to begin with. All love for Quake Champions. Expand

    The best of Quake 1 and Quake 3 Arena combined. Gameplay is well balanced now and match making is no problem for me in West Europe. It’s free to play so give it a try!

    Quake 2 multiplayer is better. This is too fast, railgun is horrible and most sweaty game in existence.

    The game is not so bad.

    However, it's disgraceful and utterly hypocritical that we won't see players from Russia and Belarus in Quake Pro League and other tournaments from now on. These players didn't choose to be born in respective countries and hence didn't deserve such a mockery for things they didn't commit. Collective responsibility at its finest... Damn, you can't even access

    Easily my favorite shooter of the decade, and I play a ton of shooters.
    After watching some Youtube tutorials to learn the movement system, the game becomes very rewarding.

    Highly recommend.

    Absolutely stupid, the game had potential, but like with all games which has champions/heros you need to balance the game. What the pro players do is they have banning pick, but when u play tanked QC you don't get that. So you have ppl picking invis champions on large maps and then just hide. The game would been a lot better if there was 1 v 1 same champion, now it's just unbalanced andAbsolutely stupid, the game had potential, but like with all games which has champions/heros you need to balance the game.

    I remember a time when I use enjoy playing Quake I loved the game's fast paced single player action. Quake 2 and 4 are my favorite in the series because of the story this game was telling and the level of action those games offered. I was hoping to see to more of that with a new Quake game instead I got something I was hopping it would never be and that's another crappy online multiplayerI remember a time when I use enjoy playing Quake I loved the game's fast paced single player action.

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.

    The best FPS game I've played in years, so much joy!

    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

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.

    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.

    A good game with good optimization and a couple of nuances, thanks to which the scores were reduced.
    1) Disbalans (1 Score);
    2) Anti-cheat works bad (2 Score).
