Star Wars Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight
On the 10th level now, I think it has 18 levels.
Pretty meh overall. Not particularly bad, but not particularly good either, and I must admit the graphics look quite bland and are an eye-sore by modern standards. I know there is some third-party graphics update for it with new models etc., but for some reason I couldn't get it to work reliably.
I recall hearing this game is supposed to have very good level design... but rather meh overall. All levels so far look so similar overall, bland, grey etc., and many architectures don't make much sense. Occasionally there are some "breathtaking" views, like at the end of the 9th level when you take a lift that goes very long way up, and you see some vast outdoor areas. I almost got a fear of height there.
I do sometimes feel I should just stop playing it and try some more interesting game, but whatever... At least I don't see myself replaying it later, similarly how I've replayed e.g. the first two Serious Sam games several times.
