Blade Runner

Gog.com>God

Clunky and hard to operate, Westwood offers you just enough rope to hang yourself with Blade Runner, counting on your love or nostalgia to buoy it amidst a sea of troubles. This is a detective game without logic, an action game without action, a story-driven game without its own narrative. No doubt a technological step forward for the genre when it was released, the game feels like a cardboard stand up of the film with no substance of its own. While this really captures a powerful sense of the noir mood and the atmosphere of the Blade Runner world, this only comes from replicating the original visual style and leaning heavily on the Vangelis score to deliver it. Is it Deckard's story? Yes and no. While you're not Deckard himself, the plot runs unbelievably parallel to the film's. That you would have the same fights, the same interrogations, the same dramas and further have these all in the same locations and at the same time(!) as the film, yet all with a different set of characters comes across not as an extension to the world but simply a bootleg knockoff. It's utterly unbelievable that these events would co-exist and so closely mirror each other -- that the game's chief conceit requires you to believe in it robs the title of any narrative power.

I'm on fedora, when I run the game on terminal I get an error message that says the following: scummvm_x86_64: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2_net-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I can't install dependencies, is there any other way to play?
