It’s a lovely, refreshing treat to play something like this, which feels exactly like an episode from the original Quake release except that the difficult in places is maybe nudged up a notch. I played on Nightmare, guessing correctly that it would feel easier than most modern maps, and enjoyed smashing my way through a sequence of levels with a very E1 atmosphere, at times even with a level-for-level correspondence.
To this this falls a little short of the top rank of releases because it’s only a re-imagining of original Quake, and lacks not just its own innovations but also those that have become commonplace on custom mapping. In particular, there are no significantly sized open areas, which means that the kinds of puzzles and combats that can take place in such areas are excluded.
Still, though, lots of fun and well worth four stars.

As many others said, it’s really great.
If one’s tired of Quake and needs more Quake, this will do perfectly fine 
Love the secrets too, as stoo said. I personally hate secrets with terribly obscure ways to get to them. Nothing like this here, as they are often based just on simple player’s observation.
Levels themselves are exactly what I like. Moderately sized, memorable design, sometimes very good looking, yet feeling like Quake.
And while still different a lot, they remind the player of the id levels they have something to do with. Be it directly some area or general approach.
Quake maps are about particular taste of players, so I love this episode.
Awesome pace, some really great areas, not too big levels, not too easy, not too hard and what I also appreciate a lot is very good monster placement.
I can’t stand unavoidable attacks, or enemies hitting player on small moving platform etc.
Along with Squire, the best small Quake episode around for me.
This is as Quake as it gets, thx Tonhao!
