I'm trying to like this game but I really don't like the way it looks. I know that's apparently the "point" of it but I don't appreciate ugliness for the sake of ugliness and retro FPS were never about that. Devs always tried to make their games look as pretty as they could and their resulting art styles often had a timeless charm to them (or at least the good ones did). I don't even think this game looks like Quake the way many people seem to think it does. I thought that Dusk's art style would maybe grow on me but it hasn't happened yet.
The other problem I have with it is the level design. I've only played through E1 but it leaves a lot to be desired, does it get better? So far it doesn't match up to the level design of the classics by any stretch which is a real shame.
On the plus side, I do really like the gameplay a lot. If the level design was good, too, I'd like this game a whole lot more even despite its appearance.
I kinda agree after finishing the game, but I'd say Episode 3 was pretty good. As a game, though, not very memorable. I was always looking more forward to Amid Evil's full release.
