The Best Way to Play a Mid Console FPS
I want to start by saying that I'm not criticizing this release on a technical level as Nightdive clearly put in effort to add in a good deal of options and the game itself plays fine. The graphical settings in particular are very nice and I wish more remasters/remakes had these kinds of options like the CRT filter or Z-clipping emulation. This review is purely about how I felt playing the game. My apologies for only posting the bad but all the good stuff is already abundant in the review section so bear with me. The real issues with Powerslave Exhumed is that fundamentally it's recreating the console version of Powerslave including the bad stuff. While I understand the decision to try and stick to the original gameplay I really wish they would have gone in a different direction and tried to change the bad aspects. I would have also preferred if they kept some of the PC features like the POV death animations at least as an option. There was a real opporunity here to try and marry the best parts of the PC and console versions and include new quality of life features while being able to toggle between certain things to make it closer to that original experience for the purists. -As mentioned by others, the player hitbox size and the ammo system are particualrly bad and there's really no reason to have kept these besides that they were in the original console versions. -Having to swap weapons to restore ammo to a weapon that's low or out of ammo is just silly and it would have made more sense to change it so that ammo pickups restore a bit of ammo to all weapons. -Enemies are not fun to fight either (a third of them shoot the same projectile) and there's not many distinct kinds of them, only their designs were interesting to me. Bosses lacked distinction as well, besides the last one. -Level design is very emblematic of console FPS games. Tight hallways, few open areas, and an abundance of platforming. Checkpoint system forcing replays of tough segments sucks!

Great metroidvania in first-person
I was pleasantly surprised by this game. I have never played the original, but wanted to buy a Sega Saturn after seeing a review of the game on Youtube. When the remake was released on GOG I immediately bought it and tried it out and I was not disappointed. I played through the whole thing. I recommend this to anyone that likes boomer shooters and platformer puzzles.

Awesome but still some minor issues
The game and the port are overall very good but some issues at launch. The player hitbox seems too big/ the french translation (the new one for this port) is hilariously bad and bugged (but devs says it's being patched)/some ennemies sounds seems to be missing. Otherwise its an awesome game that deserve your money for sure. Night dive, you're the best.

smooth as butter
I love this game, so glad that it got some treatment and love and it's here. It is a lesson to 1st person games still. I might finally move on my old copy.
