Reviewers and PC users ripped off were so furious with Deus Ex lobotomized sequel that I avoided it.
The worst ones I fell for are Myth III and Hexen II. Prince of Persia: Sands of Time could have been good, but its control scheme is good only for the gamepad, on PC with mouse+kb it was unplayable.

I actually enjoyed Hexen II more than Hexen and Heretic, mainly because it was a good mix between both, plus the conclusion to the Serpent Rider trilogy was pretty awesome. Eidolon in the end was one of the toughest bosses i've fought in any FPS. 

Plus the classes were much more differentiated on Hexen II than they were on Hexen, and the implementation of a RPG-like level up system was also pretty good. My Assasin in the end kicked so much ass XD  

There's no accounting for tastes. I mainly bash Hexen II because it wasn't as innovative as the first, that at its times was groundbreaking, and its atmosphere of desolation was superbly rendered despite the crude graphics. I agree that its gameplay was good and Eidolon tough, but the level design was pretty average. Also, Hexen II left me less satisfied because I played it after Heretic II, that surprised me as it was the only Third Person Action Adventure I really liked besides Tomb Raider, and it had an even better camera control, never giving problems during fights, and the level design was exceptional. To sum it up what turned me down of Hexen II were level design and atmosphere, I didn't like them, or to put it better, I didn't find them up to the series standard.
