Honestly, this game is ok. I'd only pick it up as a part of the HUNT bundle that also includes both the Classic and Ludicrous versions of old school Rise of the Triad though. This 2013 release is a product of its era where there was little confidence in classic 90s/00s style FPS games before Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal revived them. As such, it was "modernized" for the audiences of that time with an annoying...
