#LIST OF BEST FPS GAMES EVER MOD#
It makes the unmodded game feel like an unfinished beta in comparison, so Unreal Evolution mod is truly a must. No negative qualitative differences separating mod from game here. Like GMDX, the changes brought by Unreal Evolution are seamless and feel official, as if they’re naturally part of the game. This mod author fully understands this sort of game design and the mod is perfect for what it is.

Unreal Evolution is a generally mild, professionally done overhaul mod, improving AI and enemy loadouts and adding some new enemy abilities here and there, adding new secrets and item pickups that perfectly blend into each map, implementing a weapon upgrade system which really benefits this game, making some balance changes and AI improvements to make for a more hardcore, skill-based experience, and adding one more level to the expansion.

Unreal Evolution is the definitive Unreal, from the creator of GMDX which is the definitive Deus Ex. Well, now that Unreal Evolution has arrived, and is up to version 2.2 no less and supports Return to Na Pali, it was time to finally play this classic. I didn’t find the unofficial patch at the time, and once I learned of it I decided to wait for Unreal Evolution. I did try playing it years ago, but it wouldn’t run except maybe in a tiny 800 x 600 window. Obviously since then I’ve transitioned fully to PC gaming and have played tons of classics, but one that eluded me for a long time was Unreal. I was just getting into FPS when Unreal came out, but on consoles so I was playing Turok instead. When people think Unreal, they think Unreal Tournament. I suppose the main reason it is overlooked is because of Unreal Tournament, the multiplayer Unreal franchise, which stole all the thunder and became the focus of Epic Games for almost a decade. While it is considered a classic, it is for some reason overlooked by Half-Life, Quake, and the first two DOOM games in most discussions, despite the fact that Unreal accomplishes more than any one of those. This game is what put Epic Games on the map, it was the debut of the Unreal series and Unreal engine. Unreal Gold is the bundle containing Unreal and its expansion Return to Na Pali.
