I really enjoyed most of the game, but episode 7 is turning out to be a lot harder than the rest of the game and I'm not really enjoying it as much. It's still a great game just by virtue of how good everything was up until this point, but I can't help but be a little disappointed.Atoramos posted:I was willing to check out this game the moment I heard there was a weapon that pulled planets out of space and time, miniaturized them, and launches them at enemies. When powered up, it launches stars. Then I found other weapons that were even cooler. That mace.

Quake holds up pretty well. Definitely worth a try if you like shooters from that era. Just avoid the mission packs. They're not good.

It doesn't matter at all. They're both good games and you should play them both.

Heretic holds up pretty well these days because it's so simple. It's basically a reskin of Doom with some quality of life improvements like an inventory, and that makes it really easy to like. Hexen is a much more complicated game, and while I think it was a fairly important step in the evolutionary tree of gaming, it just didn't age well. The Deathkings of the Dark Citadel is more of the same but harder, so it's kinda hard to recommend. I haven't played Hexen II in a long time, but I remember thinking it wasn't quite as good as the original game when it first came out. I actually bought a copy from Steam, but it won't launch, and I'm not particularly motivated to find out the issue. I remember liking Heretic II, but that's abandonware and not legally available (if you care about that sort of thing).

I think Hexen 2 supported a third person view, but Heretic 2 required it. I seem to recall that it was pretty heavily influenced by Tomb Raider.

I wasn't that thrilled with the Forges overall, but there was a moment in the first level where I looked up and realized that there was a giant structure half-hidden in the fog that I didn't know about, and that really felt good.

goatsestretchgoals posted:E: First bro handed me 3.5s containing DOOM shareware and also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_of_the_Winds. Castle of the Winds was a great game back then. I never bought the second episode so I was pretty excited when the author put it out for free.

I regret not using the powered mace more often. That's some next-level destruction.
