Absolutely must for classic Bowie fans!

The soundtrack alone is worth the sale price... I have this on disk but am so tempted to get this again in a simple install package.

Jank plus Jank = Bad!

This is a game that starts out interesting and has a good amount of exploration and adventure and a sinkhole collapses you into the void of jank that is practically non-stop. From nearly game breaking bugs, to a save system that was spawned in the depths of hell. to graphical glitches that are too many to name, this game is quite literally the worst experience that I have had playing an adventure game in my entire life. If you buy this game, be advised that you will likely rage quit well before the game is done.

A Classic In Need of a Redux

This game holds a lot of nostalgia for me. I played it extensively when it first released in 1999 and into the early 2000s. At the time it was groundbreaking: a vast open world with complex, interwoven narratives, genre-blending gameplay, and an atmosphere unlike anything else. Released before GTA III, its 3D open-world experience was unmatched for its era. Of course, time hasn’t been kind. The graphics, once jaw-dropping, now feel dated, and the gameplay suffers from trying to be a jack of all trades: part adventure game, part fighter, part shooter. Still, its ambition and unique style make it worth experiencing if you’re interested in gaming history. On the technical side, I did encounter a game-breaking bug in the GOG version (during the factory mission). Thankfully, I found a workaround on the Steam Community forums: hug the wall and jump across the crates to avoid the insta-kill bug. Keep that in mind if you get stuck. What still stands out today is the storyline: a mix of dystopian rebellion and 4th-wall-breaking concepts that was way ahead of its time. The body-switching mechanic also adds a dynamic (and slightly unsettling) twist, something it shared with Messiah around the same era. Overall, The Nomad Soul is a flawed classic: dated, yet still fascinating. It really deserves a proper modern remake or remaster. If I had the time, I’d attempt one myself

A flawed almost-gem

The thing that most annoyed me about this game was the non-standard controls, and the inability to customize them. I felt then, and still do, that developers are being a bit arrogant when they do that sort of thing. On the other hand, the game has tons of immersion and loads of interesting turns and twists. At the time my comp could barely handle it, which didn't help with the clunky 1st person and beat em up sections; I look forward to having it running smoothly.

A crazy acid trip in video game form

I haven't played this game since it was first released however long ago, however what it successfully managed to do was pull me in like no other video game has managed to do, I still remember the first time I changed bodies and thinking "what the hell is going on?!". This is an enthralling, often confusing yet above all highly entertaining classic that I would hope many would at the very least give a chance.
