        idtech 4 is really great. Built rock solid, easy to read code.

        And with its lighting model, kinda comes with its own unique visual style you don't see much nowadays

      This is one of those games I keep meaning to get around to playing but never do for some reason.

        Seems really cool- I've played all the other games but this one looks like too much thinking.

      This was definitely a very unique game that I need to dedicate more time to.
