The verdict
A classic 90s shooter with great secrets-filled levels, humor and a solid new episode, but this PC port has bad mouse aiming and lacks expansions. Skip at full price.
Great for
Retro FPS fans and nostalgic Duke players who buy on sale and can tolerate clunky mouse controls
Main risk
Laggy, accelerated mouse aiming and missing expansions make it a worse way to play than source ports.
