 "HERETIC 2"/ a game review from Christian Spotlight
While Lara seems to spend most of her adventures running around jumping from ledge to ledge and solving puzzles, Raven have taken Heretic II down a slightly different road turning it into an action-packed shoot-’em-up with a minimum of puzzle solving and some great lighting and water effects.
After Heretic I and Hexen, Raven seem to have learned their lesson and done away with the tedious and sometimes confusing hub-based system and gone for a linear level design.
Heretic II is by no means perfect - the most disappointing and perhaps frustrating aspect to the game being the whole multi-player experience.

 Inside Mac Games Review: Heretic II
The original Heretic was a first-person shooter in the grand old Doom tradition, and its sequel, Hexen, followed along in the same style, but added some innovations of its own such as a 'hub' system of linked levels between which the player could move freely.
In terms of its story, Heretic II does in fact follow on from Heretic; the Hexen games were in effect offshoots.
But in Heretic II it is revealed that D'sparil cursed Corvus with his dying breath, condemning him to wander the Outer Worlds with no means of returning home to Parthoris.
