A grey corridor, a sliding door, and a guard already shouting before you have even raised your gun.

On gut feeling, Spear of Destiny sits ahead of only 13% of games. The detail is harsher still. Desert island right at the bottom, ahead of essentially none of the field. Rediscovery ahead of 1%. Art style ahead of 1% too. Sound ahead of 3%. And yet two lines stay upright, and they say something: fun, ahead of a third of all games, and controller feel, ahead of 30%, though that last one rests on a single duel, so nothing is settled there. That is the real tension: the shooting sensation, the id Software DNA, still holds a little, while everything tied to beauty and memory caves in.

Let us be fair. This Wolfenstein 3-D prequel reuses the same engine, the same textures, the same enemies. Measured against criteria built for attachment, emotion and art direction, a 1992 shooter made of pure speed has almost nothing to offer. What made it great, that raw nervous energy, is simply not what these questions measure.

So, who is it for? For you if you want to go back to the source of the FPS and feel the dry snap of those first corridors. Much less so if you are looking for atmosphere, a soundtrack, or a game to take everywhere.
