Grabbed Quake 2 on Switch during the Bethesda sale for like $3.99. I remember really liking it back in the day on a computer that could run it... okay at best.

I'm playing through the main campaign some 20 odd years later on difficult, and it is still one of the best first person shooter run and gun experiences ever. The action is quick, you are hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned. The level layouts are well done and the moment to moment gameplay is super addictive.

This is the one true spiritual sequel to 1994's DOOM. Only the demons are replaced by cybernetic sci-fi monstrosities.

I grabbed the first Quake when it released a few months back, and well... it's an interesting game with some moody settings and a fondly remembered experiment into true 3D shooters - but Quake 2 utterly eclipses it in every department.

The orginal Unreal and Quake 2 often get their glossed over in that era of early 3D shooters, and maybe it's a bit of nostalgia, but I think those two were really ahead of their time and hold up as just great games to jump back into.
