I've always thought Quake 2 was shit but I played through it yesterday and it's actually quite a lot better than Quake 1 (which is shit)

in reply to @joewintergreen's post:
Quake 2 is technically a surprisingly complete game by the standards of the era but in a very "we have checked all the boxes and you can't prove otherwise" way
If playing the remaster made you like Quake 2, then you're in the same boat as me because I also didn't care for Quake 2 back in the day.
The Quake 2 remaster is a bit of a Quake 2 Redux with many balance changes that make it a much better game than what people have been shitting on since he 90s. The enemy roster is so much better in Quake 2, but I think most of the weapons suck.
