Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
ROTT is, well, simply iconic, a doom-like (or more Wolfenstein like, since it was supposed to be its direct successor), with a gameplay PACKED with action ( so much that to make it fair, they give a bullet-weapon with infinite ammo), its soundtrack is probably the most famous of all time ( won several awards, if I am not mistaken) and its multiplayer was the first to have 11 players.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
What's the good stuff: The best part by far is the soundtrack which is so great.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
developers (like Tom Hall), while killing a good variety of goons and cultists with unique and fun weapons to do it (there are 2 upgrades to your starting gun and one slot reserved for the ''special one'').
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
One one hand, its revolutionary for its time because of the high variations, 3D elements and dynamic lighting.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It adds a ton of quality of life improvements like mouse aim, high resolutions and butter smooth frame rate, as high as your monitor will go.
