Quad-wielding combat: two guns plus two demon arms that grab, throw and tear, which makes fights faster and more physical than the first game. The comic-book art style holds up well. It is short — a single sitting for many players — and the darkness-and-light mechanic reduces most encounters to shooting out the same lamps.

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.
