I wasn’t a fan of the reboots either. Still bought them but lost interest kind of quickly.
I do like a straightforward level because backtracking is the bane of my existence. I think Prodeus does level design very well. Quake was perfect. Duke nukem had pretty large levels but pretty straightforward for the most part. But yeah, Romero had some really nice levels so I’m excited about his new doom was coming out and his eventual quake map pack!
I’ve got a buddy of mine who is an annoying maga type. Always telling me about Plato’s Cave and he’s definitely not on Reddit. Only thing is he is 40 and not 20 something.
