“VERY Short, odd, wonky, straight into it. Yeah it's good if you want more Wolfestein 3D. Level design isn't that bad, no idea why it was one of the major complains i seen around. These type of people would have a heart attack trying to…”Recommended · Steam review · Mar 2026 · 4 h played · Report / request removal

“I bought this game back in 1997 or '98 when I lived in Turkiye and still have it on CD to this day. Although the game fascinated me, I never made a ton of progress because the unpatched jank was infuriating and I'd just lose interest. I've…”Recommended · Steam review · Dec 2025 · 3 h played · Report / request removal

“Very solid shooter. Very Quake 1 coded. I've stated in the past that I'm not a massive fan of Quake 1, but Chasm: The Rift is different enough in a good way. It also helps that the game is quite short, even with the extra levels. Boss…”Recommended · Steam review · Mar 2026 · 4 h played · Report / request removal
