    Quake is an excellent value of only $9.99 if youre a fan of retro FPS shooters. The modern Quake is optimized for widescreen, and while the Switch hardware doesn't support RayTracing like it's PC counterpart, you do get dynamic lighting and enhanced shadows. Also included is the free DLC add-on for Quake64 that plays with the 64-bit textures with a CRT filter overlay for maximumQuake is an excellent value of only $9.99 if youre a fan of retro FPS shooters.

The soundtrack s the original NIN soundtrack that just sets this game apart from all the others.

    Quake is an old title, but a must play if you like fast paced first person shooters. The essence of Quake is in it’s gameplay, being the main reason to give this title a chance.

    If you missed Quake back in the day, this port is a fantastic way to experience this genre-defining work, especially for fans of 2016's DOOM. While a lot of the old-school design choices may feel simple by modern standards, it results in an elegantly intense game that's still an addicting delight to pick up for even a short session of a few minutes.

    Quake's remastered port to Nintendo Switch is proof that big video game companies don't need to treat their fans with disrespect when it comes to bringing back old classics. The level of content for such a small price is unmatched, and that is forgetting a whole new expansion pack was created for this release, too. The fact that everything can be completed cooperatively in multiplayer means less skilled players can enjoy getting through with the help of others, and then there are deathmatches for some of the best arena FPS action around. Well done to all involved in this.
