This is seriously one of the very best Doom/Quake like in existence, visuals are superb especially for a 2004 game, it runs incredibly smooth, the music is great, the game is hard but not unfair.

The gameplay is very interesting, at first it looks like a very boring and repetitive uninspired shooter, but if you're willing to experiment you'll soon understand that there are plenty of combos in weapon usage and player movement, creating a deliciously skilled based shooter, only recently challenged by Doom: Eternal in my opinion. It has a bit undercooked but extremely satisfying black tarot system, where you have to complete a challenge in levels to obtain cards, that will serve as powerful spells later in the more challenging levels.

The gameplay loop, while a bit repetitive, is incredibly addicting, especially if you like pure PC games, the game had an Xbox port much later but oh boy it wasn't designed with a controller in mind!! Even the multiplayer was amazing, but sadly died quickly due to poor support from the developer and horrible netcode, one of my biggest grieves..

Anyways, I'm playing this since 2004 and it's always a blast to come back to it once every 2 years, especially now that I have a 144Hz monitor, you can set a framerate limit with setmaxfps in the game's console, put it at 138 if you have a Gsync monitor and you're good to go! It is essential to limit the framerate because otherwise the game can have some glitches. Oh and also fov to set the fov, pretty straightforward.

However the game doesn't have a story, or it has one but it is extremely serviceable, it's a doom like, don't expect a deep story at all. The levels and atmosphere are both incredible though, especially the latest chapters.
