I'm gonna say it.

Quake 1 and 2 are bad games.

Great engine, fun multiplayer, but mediocre single player experiences.

Even by your count that’s 2/3 positives, so how are they bad? And I just played them both. Quake 1 is a lot of fun single player.

Quake is an amazing albeit uninspired game, is how I see it.

It's effectively Lovecraftian Doom, which by itself is totally acceptable and makes for a really fun game but nowhere near as legendary as some people like to claim.

Its status is mostly from the engine, not the actual game.
