Nine classes with genuinely distinct roles and readable silhouettes, which is why matches stay legible at a glance almost twenty years on. Free, and the core design has aged remarkably well. The barrier is everything layered on top: cosmetics, an opaque item economy, and long-standing bot problems in casual queues that Valve has been slow to address.

The 1996 shooter that made levels feel like places: working light switches, destructible scenery, shrink rays and jetpacks, with Duke's one-liners over the top of it all. It remains genuinely inventive level design. Note which release you are buying — this is the barebones Anthology version, and it lacks the controller support, extra episodes and multiplayer options the Megaton Edition carries at a similar price.
