This game kind of sucks
It's slow-paced, the controls and movement are clunky, the enemies are dumb and not varied, and the weapons are useless. I just beat the game by using only the spoon.

I really don't get why people are defending this so much, yeah it's a free game. And that is cool it's free. But the thing is, one of the original Chex Quest devs has been working on this since I think 2016 and on top of that there is a "Deluxe Collector's Edition" which costs over $100 USD... so yeah, there was definitely some hype for this.
And it really just feels soulless in comparison to the original, the graphics just have this really weird early 2000s uncanny valley vibe to them. And I know there are open source games with better character design than this.
And the physics are nothing like the original, which is again, extremely disappointing.
The new character designs also all feel too forced, I don't think anyone really wanted them. The original "Chex Warrior" is fine.
No ability to choose difficulty is also ridiculous.
Really if it just straight up played like the original I'd be fine with it, but no, they changed it and now it sucks.
On top of all the other complaints, they don't even really take much advantage of UE4. The controls and graphics options are practically non-existent, which is ridiculous because this kind of game needs them.

I know this sounds like I'm ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about it, but I actually don't HATE the remake, I just feel like it was rushed, and it didn't live up to what little hype there was.

Oh damn now we're gonna start getting into speed run territory and stuff. I'm gonna beat it using no weapons.

Don't trust anybody that goes out of their way to complain about something that was free.

You must have downloaded the wrong version. Mine is playable in 4K, uncapped framerate, the best AI in video games today, a varied weapon set where everything has a purpose and multiple upgrade paths for each of them, and it's looking like 40+ hours of gameplay not counting the Expert Mode and multiplayer. GOTY 2020 hands down.

Honestly feels like it's better than the original, idk about Chex Quest 2 and 3 but it's better than the first for sure.
But yeah, I wouldn't exactly want blistering speeds in more cramped environments and the controls are nowhere near clunky.

they didn't even have to do this. it's a neat little bonus for everyone and you still gotta piss and whine.

If they took a huge dump on a plate and presented it to you, would you eat it and say "at least it's free"?

It's not horrible. I mean, it's playable. Fun is debatable.

They should've just made it a Doom 2016 or Eternal TC, much like how the original was a Doom Classic TC.

Eh, I don't actually like the way doom 2016 changes the gameplay.

if it's closer to the OG Doom's mechanics then I'm going to love this.

Don't say "it's playable". Just because it's playable doesn't mean it's good. And just because it was free doesn't exempt it from criticism. The classic one is much better than this gamecube game.
