id Software shooting at its most precise, wrapped in a wasteland that mostly exists to connect combat arenas. The gunfeel and enemy animation still hold up. Everything around it is weaker: driving sections pad the runtime, the world is a hub-and-spoke rather than open, and it ends abruptly enough that many players assume they missed a final act.

Superpowers replace most of the driving: you sprint faster than cars and glide over buildings, which makes the open world trivial to cross and much more fun to move through. Combat is chaotic rather than precise. It reuses the previous game's city wholesale, and once you have full powers almost nothing offers resistance.
