Excellent remake, loved it!
I was awaiting for this game to be released, so as soon as GOG notified me of its availability I started making the clock tick until I could start it. Let's start from the intro. Beautifully done, allows even for a small sort of tutorial in the Hacker's flat. It makes the intro part of the game something more interactive and hints a little what the fuss is all about. I found the graphics with their slightly pixelated style a nice retro touch for all those like me that have a thing for indie games dripping with pixels all around. :D Anyway, onward. The atmosphere is exactly the same as the original one, at the moment that someone steps into Citadel Station and its gloomy corridors one begins to wander cautiosly, afraid of what might be lurking right behind every corner. True that the enemies aren't exactly impossible to kill, but I found that they also have a good intelligence and react accordingly to what the player is making. SHODAN is omnipresent, and that has been the key of its success as a villain in the original games. I have to admit that twarthing her plans step by step and hear all her threats and rage outbreaks makes her somewhat 'real' The music is where this game really makes a huge step ahead. Not only it's dynamic but it's also very well written and adds that touch of paranoia while crawling through the Station's corridors. Definitely worth buying, you won't regret it. Oh and, check out the original game as well. ;)
