Even if you are not into speedrunning, this is worth checking out (in that case, I recommend playing on Hard however, otherwise the places feel a bit empty sometimes). Level design is more basic due to the general purpose of this pack, but there are still visual highlights. Even has some nice intro/outro cutscenes which connect to the story of the original Quake episodes (start with “+playdemo intro” parameter to see everything).

not a speedrunner myself, but I liked the maps. Was not happy with the mockery of my lacking skill jumps. “lame secret” my ass.

Empty Delight. Good maps and very spacious for 1999, but not many enemies.

Start map with a relatively interesting difficulty selection. Asks you to perform advanced tricks, but allows you to skip them.
The initial area is pretty barebones, but the map selection zone is more detailed.

A serviceable tech base map, with 2 velociraptors thrown in. The outdoor area is really plain looking. The base itself looks ok.
Gameplay is not very interesting, super linear. Feels like you're playing in a one way tunnel.

Much more enjoyable than the previous map. Less linear, with backtracking. Also more detailed.
Not very difficult though.

Greek style temple map. Looks good, not as simple as the first map. Follows the increase in non linearity. Gameplay is more interesting.
Has a Quake 2 type hidden credits room.

A base with custom textures, plenty of machinery and moving parts. Although it's detailed and has a large area it still feels simple.
Perhaps due to the very easy gameplay.

Good medieval map. You loop around a nice looking castle, with ok details for the most part. Some corridors are pretty simple.
There's a couple of traps and gameplay is entertaining enough.

Just an ingame, end cutscene.

Overall, a couple of additions to regular Quake, rotating brushes, custom textures, exploding/breakable walls.
There is usually plenty of space to maneuver in, a lot of it looks very simple. Gameplay isn't very difficult, but increases a small amount throughout its duration.
Enjoyable.
