Ultimately, Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition is an excellent port to modern systems of a game that, however, has not aged as well as some other classics. A lot of interesting ideas clash with severely outdated level designs and game mechanics even compared to the original Doom released a whole year earlier, making it more of a Wolfenstein 3D follow-up with more verticality and variety than something modern and truly elaborate. The nostalgia factor is high, and the meme weapons and power-ups remain hilarious to this day, so I can still recommend getting this version of the oddity that is Rise of the Triad to fans of the game back in the day or just those who, like me, can’t stop revisiting boomer shooters from the 90’s; as, indeed, the controls are great on Xbox, the amount of content is stellar, and there’s plenty of options to play with too. Shame it lacks the co-op and multiplayer options present on PC. Many better shooters from the time may exist, but few are as crazy as Rise of the Triad, which is probably reason enough to visit or revisit it – though perhaps it’s better to do so on PC.
