I've come to really like Strife. I think my biggest problem when I first played it was that I assumed it was a fully formed immersive sim like Deus Ex, with choices to stealth or talk or just find alternate paths through situations, and alarms and combat being the result of fucking up. But watching the Gggmanlives review made me realize that, after all the bells and whistles, Strife is a shooter at its heart. Now that I'm in the correct mindset, I'm having fun with it as essentially Doom Plus, taking the satisfaction of Doom's raw shooting and movement and adding on more layers of choice, progression, and exploration. I think I'd put it above Heretic and even Duke 3D.
