Quake's remastered port to Nintendo Switch is proof that big video game companies don't need to treat their fans with disrespect when it comes to bringing back old classics. The level of content for such a small price is unmatched, and that is forgetting a whole new expansion pack was created for this release, too. The fact that everything can be completed cooperatively in multiplayer means less skilled players can enjoy getting through with the help of others, and then there are deathmatches for some of the best arena FPS action around. Well done to all involved in this.
Bethesda has managed to transport us back to 1996 with this magnificent reissue of Quake. With a graphics revitalized to 4K and 60 fps, with a perfect and addictive gameplay that does not pass the years, making Quake become one of the pleasant surprises of the summer.

Quake Remastered is as good as a remaster can be. Not in the sense of the visual enhancements it has made, which, while fine and all, are just the tip of the iceberg. What makes this an excellent repackaging, is the content at hand, due to the addition of all expansions (+ 1), and the support for lots of fan-made and official mods, with more coming in. Melted the single player experience? Now lose your sense of time with online pvp or co-op fun, as well as Crossplay between all modern systems, including the humble Switch. This edition of the FPS classic is also super cheap, and is available for free for those who have already purchased the original. Nightdive Studios has given you plenty of reasons to start fragging and gibbing. You ought to thank them.
Quake is still better than many modern FPS games with addictive action-packed gameplay and nice visual enhancements.

Quake still stands strong as a game which is worthy of every bit of its enduring legacy.
Whether it be a return to the cosmic horror medieval worlds of the original, or another slog with the Strogg, I hope we get more new Quake out of this, because this remaster just emphasizes how timeless the underlying formula is.
OK, so I don’t think anyone needs to tell you that Quake is one of the most influential first-person shooters of all-time...
For those that haven’t been able to tell, the Quake remaster is an absolute must-play. It was a groundbreaking achievement in 1996, and though it has been a few decades since, the original Quake holds up from a gameplay standpoint. The remaster has retained everything that made this classic first-person shooter what it is, refining its rougher edges to make it a more polished experience in 2021. If you’re revisiting this game, as someone who played it in the past, know that it’s better than you remember it. For those that have yet to experience one of id Software’s most important FPS titles, the Quake remaster will quickly make its reputation apparent.
Quake Remastered—on the whole—is a damn fine shooter with great gameplay, beautifully touched-up graphics, a hauntingly stunning score by Trent Reznor, and a plethora of content.
A timeless work

Quake is one of the biggest landmark titles in gaming history and this 25th Anniversary with all the features, options and even the ability to run mods, this is an amazing edition that truly respects Quake’s legacy
Quake Remastered shows us that old Quake continues to rule. A very robust, fun and nostalgic first-person shooter for veterans of the genre. If you want to enjoy one of the best FPS experiences of 30 years ago with your face washed, Quake Remastered is the ultra perfect opportunity to do so.

Even with so many details that leave us with that feeling of "they could have done this/that" to give it a little extra breath, id Software opted for the right to keep the original experience as a priority in this relaunch. It's always nice to see old faces back in the crowd, even if they're all battered and bleeding. Rejoice, nineties! Quake is back and remains authentic.

Quake Remastered is a fantastic release. While rumours for a remaster have swirled around for years, a remaster that is both as simple and as nuanced as Quake Remastered defies all expectations. It may look rather bland in a world where Fortnite seems average and Skyrim sees its eightieth release, but it truly does have a hell of a lot to offer. Pun most definitely intended. In short: the game is exceptional.
I can’t believe this is the first time Quake has ever been officially released on a portable. Playing this on the Switch feels downright perfect. Its fast-paced gameplay, ludicrous speed, bite-sized levels, and utterly ridiculous amount of content are a fantastic fit for the system.
