The maps are well made, its like playing a I.D add on bounus. Maps are small to medium ,But are a joy to play, played on skill 3 nightmare, but have to find the secret red buttons to get nightmare door open.Anyway all maps put a smile on my face, thats what quake should be…5 star

Very nice! Classic Quake Look-'N-Feel, very very close to the original maps.
My only complaint is the “Rush Hour” ending - to me, that seems neither here nor there. Well, some people like that - i don’t.
Apart from that small hiccup: Well done. Very well done!
Thanks for your efforts, and thanks for sharing! I look forward to the next project!

All these maps are good solid id1 fun, and at least 3 are very good. Some nice tips-of-the-hat to the original campaign while still being inventive. I appreciate the use of mid-sized-maps too; it lets you have more frequent “closure” and change of scenery.
Well worth a play. I know Tonhao did some prerelease playtesting on these, and I think it shows.
One bit of constructive criticism:
The ammo is generous here (I was on skill 2 FWIW). While that’s not necessarily an issue for a single map, it means that before the middle of this episode I was maxed out on all ammo to the point where I could almost make my way through an entire map just with grenade trickshot spam on all the baddies. Or by SNG-hosing everyone.
I know that’s a tricky thing to solve, and no one gets the episode balance exactly right for all players, but in this case I think it could have been tuned better for episode-style playthrough. The back-half maps would probably play a lot better from shotgun start.

This map pack has to be right up there with one of my favorites. Love the callbacks to the original shareware episode and the mid-size maps and close encounters. It feels very vanilla with its geometry but still retains a lot of detail—which I believe is this episode’s charm. A really heart pumping ending as well.
Really hope to see more material like this from you.
Played with the original DOS Quake and QDOS (to finish the last two maps).

Absolutely solid collection of maps. Like others have said, they feel like classics from the 90s updated to today’s standards w/r/t environmental detail. Especially loved all the secrets, which were clever but not too obscure/frustrating.
My one complaint would be the ending to what I think is the last map. A constant wave of spawning enemies can be a very exciting ending, but I think it just went way too long to the point that I got annoyed. And of course I fell in the lava when the Shamblers spawned, dying before I could get out. I realize that’s my fault but now I’m dreading playing that whole part again.
