Quake II

About

Quake II tasks you with defending Earth from the Strogg, a ruthless alien force. This first person shooter pits you against waves of enemies in a mix of indoor and outdoor combat scenarios. The 2023 version adds new levels to the campaign while retaining the fast paced gunplay that defined the original. Online options let you team up for co op or face off in competitive multiplayer. Classic weapons like the lightning gun and rocket launcher return alongside new gear to mix up your tactics. The game runs on all major consoles including Nintendo Switch and PC. Nightdive Studios handled the remaster which added 4K support and ray tracing where available. Community reviews highlight the smooth performance and how well the core loop holds up after all these years. With over 1 million copies sold in the first month, the modernized version has proven popular with old school shooters and newcomers alike. The Strogg invasion is as chaotic as ever but now looks sharper than most games half its age.
