Worth your time but not thirty dollars.
Nice little game. The price is fairly steep for the very light coat of paint it got. Some of the later levels are a little frustrating but overall not too bad. Wait for a sale and grab it, it's certainly worth the time but not the full asking price in 2024. In my opinion this should have been a ten perhaps even fifteen dollar release.

I need an Engineer
This game is a follow-up from the OG movie. The story is canon (per Carpenter words) The game itself is mid, i would rate it 6/10 and 7/10 for the remastered version. The first half is just cool and expend the story left from the OG movie. The second half of the game is just a standard generic shooter with janky aiming system. I liked it for what it was, but it's not a masterpiece. I do recommand it for those who like the movies. However wait for sales.

Amazing Remaster, OK game
Nightdive put their heart and soul into remastering this, and it shows. The lighting is a standout, as well as the improved controls. The game itself, however, is not amazing. Definitely the weakest entry out of the games that they have brought back for modern audiences. There's some fairly frustrating boss fights, and sometimes the partner AI can be more of a nuisance than an actual help. I beat it in about 4 hours, which is kinda short for the amount it costs. Still, I enojoyed myself, and would recommend it.

9.5/10 Remaster 6/10 Game
Just look at revies of OG game for that 6/10 The Remaster is amazing. Only complaint is that the game is only 4 hours long and for 30$ you can get a lot more game somewhere else. However, If you are a fan of the original game or the movie / Survival Horror, this game will be a great 4 hours for you. I like what Nightdive is doing so I bought it at that price. Can't wait for the next project. Grabbed it on steam and wished I got it here for Non DRM :(

You can play it instead of the original
Visually, the game was not spoiled, the graphics look the way the original is usually remembered. The shooting mechanics were slightly tightened, shooting became a little more pleasant. Several unpleasant places were changed, which made them easier and more pleasant to pass (I passed that very staircase on the first try). Even without counting the stuffy places from the original, the game felt easier on normal.
