HD and Retro don't always go together
Blade Runner is a fantastic game, as a point and click adventure enthusiast I have to admit it is one of the best game in its genre. But as with many classics of the 90s and early 2000s, you have to ask yourself: What made this game so immersive, what made me feel like I was being sucked into this world, forgetting everything that is happening around me. Older graphics aren't necessarily worse than what we have today. You can have the most realistic graphics, but if the game doesn't feel real and immersive, then it doesn't matter how great and detailed the graphics are. The point I'm making is, any graphics are great, if you can create a believable world with it. And in the case of Blade Runner, putting HD graphics onto something that wasn't originally designed with highly detailed graphics, makes the end picture not look great or a part of the world that this game has created. The 5 stars are for the original Blade Runner game.
