Quake III Arena

WELCOME TO QUAKE 3 ARENA

Quake III Arena is probably the greatest multiplayer game ever made. Though, for modern systems, Quake Live is probably the best way to play it. The only real difference (aside from Quake Live's hundreds of maps and training course) is that Quake III Arena has a sort of "singleplayer campaign" where you verse bots on multiplayer maps. This campaign is fun for the same reason as the multiplayer, and therefore I'd recommend—albeit with one notable exception. The campaign on Nightmare mode took me about 10.8 hours, but most of this is on the final boss fight, Xaero. Xaero is easily the hardest boss fight I've ever faced in a video game, and it's not even close. It's barely a matter of skill—the fight is just straight-up unfair. Xaero effectively instant-kills you with the Railgun if he sees you for a split moment. You have to kill Xaero in spite of his overpowered hit-scan abilities 10 times before he can do the same. The difficulty spike is absurdly steep. Though I was able to beat Xaero on Nightmare, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're willing to endure the rage. Either way, I could never give Quake III a negative review. This game is the PEAK of multiplayer.

Fun. Intense. My teeth kicked in.

The movement is buttery smooth, every weapon is satisfying, the design of weapons and maps are literal masterpieces, and once you learn to fly around the map with rocket launcher, you start wondering why modern shooters make you run and slide and all that ♥♥♥♥. Honestly, if it weren't for how rough it can be to get looking right on a modern PC, this would easily be a 10/10. Resolution quirks, UI scaling, and a few old-engine headaches really drag it down, which is a shame. Unfortunately for thoses reasons i can't really recommend it on steam, you should rather get it for and older PC, or play the Dreamcast port which is pretty awesome. Underneath all that, though? This is probably the greatest arena shooter ever made, and one of my favorite Quake games after the first one, which is of course is unbeatable. If you're still rocking a CRT, congratulations: you get to experience this game the way god intended. 7/10, Quake III aged like a champion but modern monitors definitely didn't.

The best Quake, if you have some old school friends to play with

The greatest game ever released on the steam,
