/vr/ - Retro Games

What are some retro games that combine difficult action gameplay with difficult cryptic puzzles? Not necessarily FPS, but any genre.

Hexen II

To be fair most of its shortcomings are a result of the Quake engine itself. Still definitely not as refined as the first and it makes a terrible first impression with those stupid spider enemies.

How do I play Hexen 2 nowadays?
Everyone seems to be using Hammer of Thyrion, but I heard that UQE Hexen 2 is better (although not sure how true is that). I think I know where to get CD music (or can just stick with MIDI; It's not a bad option, right?) and Portal of Praevus - I suppose its better and easier to get RIP version for game from Steam.
>"The Ultimate patch for the Steam version" is too messy and contains a lot of unnecessary things I don't want to bother and with no option to pick what I actually want to install.
Thanks in advance and I apologize if I miss something about it in main post. I tried my best to find anything Hexen 2 related there, but failed.

Unlike the modern shit all running on unity or unreal engine.
