Call of the Void (2025 Quake II mod)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, GOG been directly supporting mods. You can get em for free. But you still need to buy the original games they're for. For a few months I started seeing stuff regarding a new, ambitious Quake II mod. I was more surprised it gotten onto GOG.

Call of the Void (2025)
This is essentially an fan sequel to the newest Quake II campaign. A rather interesting what if scenario bridging the first two Quake games together. Majority of the enemies is like compositive of both Quake games' designs. Somehow it worked wonders I was impressed.

When you go to select the mod campaign. I liked it gets added among all the other Quake II campaigns. Personally that's rather cool the team pulled that off. After playing this Quake II mod I felt it belongs in there!!! This felt like an actual expansion to those Quake games.

Similar to the newer campaigns of Heretic + Hexen honestly. There's six huge levels packed with surprises. They didn't repackage anything from the main game or it's expansions. The intro has you going through a void. Such a cool visual the team pulled off.

I won't spoil the ending I sure didn't expect it though. I also liked some Quake 1 weapons showed up as well. You get more weapons than before. Yet it's still surprisingly balanced. You never felt overpowered that's a good sign. Your compass is virtually useless though.

Then again once you start to figure stuff out. Suddenly you don't care about that anymore. There's a lot of enemies on the way to deal with. I loved how they attempted to mess the two Quake games' level designs together. This was among my favorite aspects of the mod.

GOG knew something great was coming. You can count being an fan of either Quake game. They'll enjoy the hell out of this mod. This is such an unique experience. Just differs enough to be it's own thing. Sometimes I forget how impressively mods can truly be.

Honestly I am hoping Bloom shows up on GOG soon. This was made by the same team. Bloom is one of those mods I really wanna play!!! Combining Doom with Blood is a match made in Hell!!! Although this is a close second to that. You really can't go wrong with this mod.

The campaign is a few hours long. I don't want people getting the wrong idea about it's length. I will give em a lot of credit pulling this concept off. This easily could've gotten south too. I would say among a few mods I played from GOG. Easily among the finest I played to date it's a huge recommendation.
