    This new iteration of Quake II is the definitive approach to remastering a classic. The past melds seamlessly with the present, as not only are the two original expansions resurrected, but the very campaign from Quake II 64 is transposed. The new campaign crafted by the hands of MachineGames is a testament to the fusion of innovation and nostalgia. This revitalization becomes a symphony of rejuvenation, as the past is reborn in the crucible of the present, leaving players to navigate a world that is both familiar and novel, both retro and modern. This is not just a remaster; it's a journey through time, a testament to the power of transformation.

    Quake II is a great remaster, with plenty of content and an impeccable job to bring a classic back. The multiplayer is fun, especially the entire campaign in co-op.

    Whether you’re wanting to revisit it, or jumping in for the first time, this version of Quake 2 is simply superb. It takes a genuine classic, improves and enhances it in a myriad of ways, and then gives you more. While some companies would just have delivered a simple port and perhaps thrown in the existing expansions as a treat, the inclusion of the Nintendo 64 version of Quake 2 and a brand new expansion here is truly to be applauded. If you have any love for the first-person shooter genre, consider this essential. And even better, it comes in at a budget price.

    One of the best remasters ever made, that actively improves the original game, in terms of graphics, AI, and the enormous volume of content.

    We find ourselves again with the legendary FPS from 1997 but completely renewed. Its new improvements and the addition of new content, accompanied by a more than outstanding multiplayer, mean that we are facing a piece of "remastered" with a more than ideal price.

    A brilliant standard setter for remasters and re-releases going forward, Quake 2 feels like a love letter to one of the grandfathers of boomer shooters.

    It’s a stunning package, filled to the brim with content both new and old, and barring the handful of small issues, it's a brilliant way to revisit one of the most iconic shooters in video games.

    Nightdive and ZeniMax have done it again.
    This is well worth the purchase just because of all the dlc being included, and it's a classic fps!

Bethesda and the responsible developers have managed to bring out a really nice title from the 90s with many options and improvements for today's platforms. We find the game implemented and expanded and look forward to diving right back into the game set at that time and perhaps see ourselves in the respective multiplayer matches again.… Expand

Other than that, this is the definitive way to play this classic shooter alongside 2021's remaster of Quake 1. There is so much content to pick from all the expansions to even chapter select. I'm really loving these releases, and it gives me hope that we might see Quake 3 or even 4 be given the same treatment at some point in the future. At $10 each you just can't go wrong.… Expand
