Great pack for a handful of small to medium sized levels. Lots of fun to be had.
Back to Basics - By Vurkka
A nice simple start map. Took me a bit to find the Nightmare portal.
Dune - by 66ppt9
Very creative and strange level (like the book). Impressive work on the intermission camera.
These Aren't The Fiends You're Looking For - by alexUnder
Fun little castle map, the encounter setups forced you to move around a lot. Good use of verticality too. Only negative was that I found a part where I was able to jump past the castle wall and was trapped outside the castle and had to reload a save.
The Magmarena - by Avix
Challenging but fun arena fight. The encounters were tense. Style wise it felt like a mix of Episode 2 & 3.
Dungeon Crawling Paradox - by Chuma
Sparsely detailed dungeon, but made up for it with plentiful secrets. I like how you had 2 routes to explore right off the bat. See if you can find the unmarked red armor secret.
Infiltration of the Cult of the Demonic Metal Knights - by CommonCold
Really enjoyable map. I liked the altar callback to the original game and the surprise vore. Great detailing too.

Wow, this map looks straight out of episode 3 (well done geo and layout). Great fights and surprisingly long for a speedmap. Fantastic encounter design and some evil traps!
Screaming Face Trim - by Doritos420
A trap heavy dungeon crawl, textures were inspired by DOPA's E5M8. This was my 2nd Quake release and definitely waaaay better than my first (sm220, don't play it, it sucks). Had a lot of fun making it, in the process I learned how to do monster teleports and use latent triggers. For critiques I think the encounters are a bit samey and the layout a bit flat. For my next map I want to have more looping level design, more room over room, and some more open areas that incorporates patrolling monsters.
Terracottian Grotto - by iYago
Loved the blending of themes in this one. Great looping level design and loved all the little details on the geo, such as the terracotta pillars and archways.
Sarsaparilla - by Lobotomy-Lobster
Liked how open the level design was, allowing you to explore and approach areas in different ways. Very ominous final room.
Destruction Frozen in the Timeless Void - by Mazu
Another epic Mazu map. Definitely didn't feel as evil as some of his other ones I've played, but still a fair challenge. Ammo felt a bit tight in some spots but there was always some extra stowed away somewhere. I really liked the striking vista of the two suns upon entering the various arenas, as well as the looping multi-tiered design of the level. Also it was a lot of fun hunting for all the various secrets. Final encounter at the end was a battle for the ages.
Illume Terminal - by MortalMaxx
A small base map jam packed full of secrets. I really liked how you overlook the final arena the whole time, and how you looped back to the start. Also thanks for not making the crushers an instant death trap.
Chains of Quath'Atal - by Milestone
What a wild map. So big! Combat was pretty easy so it was pretty fun just hopping around the scenery, exploring and reading the flavor text. It was neat how you made the starry sky effect. Pretty fun, I just wish there was music & some extra nail ammo.
Dark Spaces - by Mizuki
Loved the dilapidated base theme. Combat was actually pretty challenging if you missed out on the early secrets, since there isn't much health around.
Cliffside Outpost - by NewHouse
Really fun map, ridiculous amount of enemies to fight in such a small space but with lots of weapons and exploding crates it was a blast. Also the secrets were especially tricky to find. My favorite part was the lightning gun encounter.
Tangled Monopole - by RecycledOJ
Really well done techbase level that looked great. Loved the geo, especially in one of the final rooms (the big one right after the lift down). Great job here.
Vanilla Milksteak - by Spootnik
Beautiful runic level with an absolutely diabolical starting area. After leaving that first encounter I only had 15 health! Fantastic map, where it has the lightning gun and grenade launcher as the main weapons. Includes some tricky platforming but nothing too infuriating. Lots of fun challenging fights, and a gorgeous final arena.
Castle Athoem - by Zetabyt
Absolutely loved this map. Feels like Episode 4 but with good geo. Intense gameplay with tons of enemies but balanced out by powerful weapons and pickups with tons of ammo. Some cheeky traps and a handful of spawns as a cherry on top. Also liked the trippy portal effect that was used. This is my first Zetabyt map but based on this I want to play more of their stuff.
Green Hell - by zigi
Such a great level. Really fun looping design with some evil areas (What would it be like with spawns in episode 1?). Love the swampy castle sort of vibe, just fantastic.
