    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 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

    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.

    kinda better than fortnite,pubg and similiar. Quake is a legacy, so we need to respect it, even if it's not that popular by now.

    As competitive as it gets, this game is a great sequel to quake 3 arena. Great visuals and nice addition of new mechanics on top of classic arena shooter. Must play for all the fps action fans.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. The FTP model isn't a bad choice to enter the game (whenever those opportunities arise) as you get 2 champions to play with. but those 2 champions are very good.

    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 enjoy Quake's fast-paced, brutal fun, then you will probably enjoy Quake Champions. Let's start off with the bad part. This game adopted the RNG loot-box method which is dissappointing, but the game gives you so many free loot-boxes that spending money on them is a waste. 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

Bref il faut avoir de l’expérience et jouer quelques temps avant de réellement s’amuser.La direction artistique plaira à certains et sera détestée par d'autres. Perso j'ai aimé ce côté "à donf" dans la DA, musique métal, lieux remplis de sang ou créature dégelasses, instruments de tortures et sound design sanglant.
    Quake Champions se présente comme un Fee To Play honnête puisqu'il propose des achats intégrés facultatifs. Ce jeu est bien entendu un " Game as a service", c’est à dire un jeu que l'on fait paraitre comme un service: MAJ régulières, boutique renouvelée, C’est donner l’impression au joueur qu'il n'existe que ce jeu là sur lequel il passera le restant de ses jours.

    Pretty good, just not what I wanted from a Quake title. If you truly want a real eSport, stick to Unreal Tournament.
