Let’s play some word association. I say ‘iD Software,’ you say… Doom? Quake? Wolfenstein, perhaps? For real FPS heads, the names Heretic and Hexen may also come to mind. Produced and published by iD in the mid 1990s, but developed by Raven Software (the folks now responsible for overseeing Call of Duty Warzone) these two shooters are extremely close cousins to Doom and Quake. Now they’re getting another chance to shine. Nightdive Studios - the remaster specialist that has already tackled the likes of System Shock and the early Turok games - has worked its magic once more, with the new Heretic and Hexen bundle that features enhanced versions of both these iconic FPS games. The best part? It’s out right now.
