Everything is generally fine but the levels are ridiculously long and exhausting and there isn't anything new here that you can't find in another Quake mod. If the levels were 50% shorter I'd recommend this, but as it stands they overstay their welcome and it just becomes boring.

Fueled by legendary Quake 1 technology, the veins of WRATH pump with the DNA of revered '90s shooters. The world of WRATH is rich with engaging combat, diverse environments and captivating lore. Every element is deftly intertwined to create an authentic and enchanting experience as timeless as the games that inspired it.

The first episode is great. Really. But episode two and three are incredible boring and annoying. I love repetitive and linear gameplay where you shoot hordes of enemies, but this is just bad and cheap level design. They don‘t let you breath and enjoy the the scenery. The game keeps you busy until it‘s just awful boring and you hope the level will end soon. I stopped playing during episode 3 because it felt like a waste of time. But if you get it in a sale for maybe 5 €, buy it and play the first episode. It‘s short but worth it.
+ Fun in general + Beautiful old school graphics - EXTREMELY bad level design - Bad save system. Why don't use good old quick save/load? - Constant lack of ammo for fun guns - Weak impact - No NG+
awesome game reminds me of quake but with a bit more interaction and possibly more story.
Episode 1 is OK Episode 2 is really not fun Episode 3 is actually really good
pretty good boomer shooter
The isn't bad, but a little bit bland for my liking. I wasn't expecting something as good as Cultic, but certainly something more interesting. I mean, the game isn't bad, but certainly it wasn't for me. So, I can recommend it, but I didn't loved it.
