Famous for being one of the foundational games of the FPS genre from id Software, Quake is the original shooter that pits players against monster-infested levels. Each level contains puzzles and obstacles players must overcome to proceed to the next one. Quake is also known for its multiplayer where players can engage in co-op mode or deathmatch.
