Quake Champions

by Bethesda Softworks

Developed by iD Software

20 years ago, Quake set new standards for multiplayer competition and pushed the boundaries for graphics and gameplay. The fast, skill-based arena-style competition that turned the original Quake games into multiplayer legends is making a triumphant return with Quake Champions.

Firstly I wanted to send a special HAPPY FATHER DAY to all the Dads out there. #dadsolidarity.

I wanted to get my Quake Champs second look review out a couple days ago but you know how things go sometimes. That said, i'll drop the TLDR up at the top.
