    Quake II sets a new standard for sci-fi FPS with immersive levels, advanced graphics, and intense multiplayer. A timeless classic.

    - Enemies. Ability to cut them into pieces.
    - Sounds!
    - Levels where you could come back and forth.

    Neue Waffen, neue Gegner, neue Geschichte.
    Das damalige Setup macht zwar auch noch heute Spass. Quake 1 war/ist aber mindestens genau so gut.
    Es ist nicht mehr die ganz so schnelle Action.
    _____

    New weapons, new enemies, new story.
    The setup of that time is still fun today. Quake 1 was/is at least as good, though.
    It's not quite as fast action anymore.

    Honestly just as good as the OG! Vvv fun to sit-down and playthrough. really exciting gun effects and animations. Just a very solid shooter honestly. We can thank thiiisss Quake for the technical leap in fps story-telling and mission structure/graphical improvement. An important part of videogame history!

    The level design is absolutely amazing. The art style still gives me goosebumps. The skill required for the game and speedrunning is just pure bliss. I still come back to this game every now and then. It's part of the same wave than Doom and Wolfenstein.

    An absolute classic FPS, I finish this game so many times and always amaze me. But remember, the PlayStation or the Nintendo 64 version is totally different from the pc one. If you like this game check out the Mission Packs: The Reckoning and Ground Zero that is also cool.

При подлёте, большинство кораблей было подбито, из-за чего множество десантников попадает в плен или погибает. Главный герой упал на отдалении от предполагаемого места высадки, из-за чего ему предстоит долгая дорога, состоящая из 36 уровней и 3 секретных, на протяжении которых он и должен будет уничтожить как можно больше инопланетян.

    Differences between the first and second parts are felt immediately

    I had a little trouble playing the second part because there were problems with the controls.
    But overall the game has changed a lot.
    The gameplay became slower a lot from walking to weapons everything felt slower that I didn’t like it, level design problems because unlike the first part, here most of the doors are the same and you can easily get lost where you were and where you weren’t, in some levels there is a blackout sometimes it’s good, but it’s a little difficult to pass the levels, there was also a change in the structure of the levels, if initially in the first part it was necessary to find the keys and find the way out, now you have to press the buttons to turn off or blow up something that is not immediately visible to the eye, which made the game very difficult ,The new Railgun Weapon is cool and interesting, it is interesting to shoot from it
    Also in the game there was a redesign of weapons and they look pretty nice that the Rocket Launcher, BFG, Blaster, Shotgun
    In general, this game is controversial, although it mostly has positive features and only problems with level design
    So as a sequel it's just very good
    +Interesting innovations
    +Better Quake 1 Models and Textures
    +More focus on the story
    +Railgun my favorite weapon in game very fun,Cool
    -Difficult to navigate at some levels
    FuNNy Gameplay and interesting Expirence

    Очень красивый 3d шутер в плане графики, красиво смотрится и сегодня. Шутер играется сегодня очень хорошо. Заслуживает 10 звёзд из 10.

    Re-Played in 2021. Nice remaster, goes smoothly.
    I personally prefer the first Quake, this one seems too repetitive to me.

    Оцениваю по меркам тех времен. Мультиплеер я не играл, поэтому оценивать буду сингл. Так вот, игра для своего времени прорыв. В 1997, когда другие разработчики шутеров так и не перешли на 3д, ID software клепала свой второй 3d шутер. Удивительно, но игра до сих пор хорошо играется, в отличии от первой части.Оцениваю по меркам тех времен. Мультиплеер я не играл, поэтому оценивать буду сингл.

    Compared to its predecessor, it is awful. Everything about it just seems like a forgettable game from the late 90s. Worth a play? Nah.

    Quake 2 wasnt much of an improvement over the original graphics wise. The story is as forgettable as the original but it is better in the sense that you have actual objectives and not just key hunting. The sound and music are good. The gameplay is satisfying. The guns are fun to use, the enemies are balanced and it is fun to play it through.

    One of my all-time favourite FPS games. It was amazing for its time. Great atmosphere and mechanics for 1997. Very tense and creepy gameplay (for a kid!). Will always love this game.

    Quake 2 is also a great and badass experience. I just wish for more speed in gameplay. And Oh yea The Soundtrack is just too good to be true

    Pretty decent game but Quake 1 is better, Trent Reznor puts it best: "This game has no atmosphere."

    Мой любимейший квейк. Даже для своих лет, крайне приятная стрельба, в отличии от вышедшей в том же году - халвы . Враги приятно разлетаются на части, переговариваются, и имеют несколько атак почти каждый.

    The graphics may be a little dated, visuals are more generic than the original Quake but Quake II is still a fun and joyful ride of nothing but absolute carnage, one of those games that i think every gamer should play once in their life.

    This is regarding SP only. Played it back in the day and my feelings then hold true today. It feels bland compared to 1, and I don't like the level design. I found myself backtracking often and multiple times I was confused as to where to go after wiping the levels of enemies. Was just a tad frustrating.

    Quake 2 es un gran juego. Se podría decir que sirvió como inspiración para el primer Half Life con los mapas conectados y en parte la jugabilidad. Uno de los mejores FPS que ademas cuenta con un excelente modo multijugador.

    A good continuation of a great game only with a slightly better graphics. I remembered this part much more than the first and almost all such games that came out at that time, to which I got my hands.

    Played this sucker back in 1999. Good fun. Solid graphics, cool weapons, spooky design, intense action all add up to classic replayable shooter. Most fun ? taking out enemies with Hyperblaster, Railgun and BFG.
