not compared to doom. I said I enjoyed it, seems like you dont, we have different opinions. I enjoy exploration and not knowing where I'm supposed to go. Gives you that much more satisfaction when you finally finish a hub.

Heretic and doom are preeeetty linear compared to hexen

Gee, sorry if I want some kind of reason for killing my way though endless hordes. I dont subscribe to Carmack's idea of what story should be in computer games, personally i like it when they put in a little effort beyond "here's the world, go nuts" and some notes in the manual.

Atmosphere - Awesome
Setting and Storyline - Pretty good
Classes - Very cool, each class is different and fun to play
Weapons - Very cool, but slightly limited
Items - Excellent, and some like the flechette make up for lack of variety of weapons
Level Design - Hard. Obtusely Hard. This is where Hexen falls down. You will have to use a walkthrough if you get stuck. Its a combi keyhunt/switchhunt, inside a maze, connected with portals.

Overall: I like the idea of it, but its a grind to play. Well worth checking out, and the first map is fun. You can try necrosis.wad if you really dont like hexen and want something more linear.
