User blog comment:Le Rottweiler/My favourite level in Quake I!/@comment-3547390-20150130200313/@comment-26005008-20150130202005

Ja, Evil Palace is a work of art. I selected it because it’s probably the juiciest gem in the treasure trove that is Q2, and that’s saying something.

It’s funny, because something about Episode 4 feels…less exciting. I don’t know if it’s from reaching it by the time I’m exhausted, or if it’s just the cold atmosphere that puts me off. It’s certainly not a terrible set of levels, but it’s not as good as the other three.

Somehow, it feels… lonelier. Which should seem redundant given that you are the only protagonist in the game, but somehow it felt more apparent there.

To be honest, it’s difficult for me to explain why Episode 4 is weaker. The most coherent reason I can give is that I disliked the atmosphere in it.
