"Satan, your game has arrived. It spits up blood and pisses vinegar. It sprouts horns from its head like the proud minion of evil that it is. It shoots lightning bolts, for cripes' sake. It's a game of pure evil. And even purer entertainment. It's also the best action game on the planet." ... Read full review

"The graphics, sound, and intelligence factors combine to make a game that will scare the hell out of you! The main problem that Quake seems to have is a lack of identity. It wants to combine "DOOM" elements with Hexen elements which creates a mish-mash effect." ... Read full review

Quake is a bit... odd. In principle it's fast paced shooter with loads of enemies and powerful guns. But that doesn't mean, that the game isQuake is a bit... odd. In principle it's fast paced shooter with loads of enemies and powerful guns. But that doesn't mean, that the game is "flat" or simplistic. At times it plays out like a Lovecraftian horror game set in candlelit castles, while the music incorporates sounds like cries, screams and grunts. The soundtrack is a full-fledged ambient mood-setter. When it comes to fighting there's much more than modern military pea-shooters: double-barrelled shotguns, rocket and grenade launchers and even lightning gun. Definitely one of classics in it's genre along with Doom and Wolfenstein 3D. Still vey much playable and enjoyable almost 2 decades after it's release, not many games have it in them.… Expand

The enemies, the crazy faces the player makes when you collect an item, the weapons, etc. The place looks like nothing from the outside world should be here. All of the levels look rusted and worn out, the haunting ambience composed by Trent Reznor.
And the games namesake, Quake or Shub-Niggurath. With him (or her) looks similar to the logo and that logo is plastered everywhere in all 4/5 chapters from shadows to buttons to the coloured glass in cathedrals. Over all 69/10 MASTAHPIECE.… Expand

For me it was a masterpiece in childhood. The very first shooter, the very first blood of evil aliens.

Innovation, fast-paced in-your-face action, gore and ultra-violence, kick-ass weapons, and endless fun! Quake was the first truly 3D FPS game thanks to the genius intellect of John Carmack. Modern gaming wouldn't be the same without this game and the code behind it. Brilliant, unmatched and immortal! 10/10… Expand

Quake was probably id software's last great game. Don't get md wrong, there's nothing wrong with Quake II or III but id software's greatestQuake was probably id software's last great game. Don't get md wrong, there's nothing wrong with Quake II or III but id software's greatest strengths were always hidden in their innovations, Quake's satisfying bloody gameplay combined with perfect atmosphere made it one of the most immersive video games of all time. The complex level design was YEARS ahead of its time and it's still fun to play all over.
Quake's multiplayer was satisfying and fun too, but the single-player was the thing that i found myself returning to.
The Quake franchise is a weird one but for me the name QUAKE truly belongs to the first game. I highly recommend playing Quake, especially if you're a newcomer to the first-person shooter genre.… Expand
