Bugs and Problems

I am stunned how many great reviews there are for this and I was doubting myself, if I even played the same game. There are so many bugs in here. From the classic sound bugs, over graphical glitches to controller bugs whereas my controller constantly got input from my triggers but I didn't do anything which resulted in turbofire mode and auto cutscenes skips. No it was not my controller, I checked in Windows and in other games. Its just here. It also has no functioning german Subtitles. The Font is missing ÖÜÄ and ß. Meaning half of the words in the subtitles are complete garbage. Nothing here is unpatchable. If they WANT, they could fix all of these problems. But as long as it is like this, I would strongly advise you to wait before buying this Remaster. In my opinion its not worth 15 Bucks right now.

Perfect Remaster

Last time i have finished the game was 2009, now i just wanted to look into the Remaster and played through it again. The Remaster is well done; better graphics, better controls, still the amazing soundtrack and sound design and three new, huge, and very well designed level. Shadow man is one of the best games of the late 90s and the Remaster is worth every penny.

Fine remaster ofa fondly remembered game

Loved this game back on the N64. Played the regular pc version once, it was unbearable for some reason. This remaster is pretty much how I remember it on the N64, but much easier on the eyes, and tons smoother to play. If you have any kind of positive memory of Shadowman this is a must own imo. For the new peeps, this is a pretty rough 3rd persons adventure and takes some getting into to if you're used to stuff like the new tomb raiders and uncharted. But if you want to see what the old timers spent their time on back in the day give this a go. There is pretty much no handholding, and the layout can be confusing, but its very satisfying to figure out where you need to go on your own with just the directions (or lack there of) that the game gives. That said, there is absolutely no shame in looking at a walkthrough when you're stuck. General tip, F5 quicksave is your friend, especially in the voodoo temples where one tiny platforming mistake can throw you back all the way to the start. As for the added stuff, its fine, its oke, but I can see why they decided to leave it out of the full game back on the N64.

The horror, the horror - I embrace it

I finished Shadow Man countless times on the N64, yet the updated controls, visual effects, and restored content of this remaster make gameplay feel fresh and new again. Dark horror has never been finer! Shadow Man has been lovingly restored for the modern gaming era and holds up surprisingly well despite being over 20 years old. Full kudos to Nightdive Studios for their attention to detail and respect for the original content. Check my analysis on YouTube if that's your jam: https://youtu.be/BBFEMai4aFU

Nice

I loved this game years ago and this remaster is truly great! And with the latest patch many bugs and adjustments have been made. That being said, from my POV I was able to play and enjoy this game without any hitch even before the latest patch.
