A flawed gem of the third person era
A favourite game of mine back when I was younger in an era where game design outside of FPS was yet to be approached as a balance & optimisation problem, but more of a dark art where the definitive player experience was never clear until after the game hit the shelves. As such, Infogrames produced a warts-and-all gem of the now dead third-person genre - admittedly awkward movement and combat, with plenty of backtracking and a lot of getting lost, but the germ of the exploration and storytelling coalescing in a truly engaging atmosphere and a beautiful soundtrack performed by the Moscow Symphony Orchestra that really sells the intent to bottle all the maximalism and grandiosity of the high-budget action/adventure film into late 90s PC hardware. For a standout cinematic sci-fi adventure in an era still just realising the potential and ubiquity of video games, it's a more than worthy addition to your collection for its price.
