This 6DOF Classic has not been Forsaken
Forsaken is a classic Six-Degrees-of-Freedom (6DOF) shooter in the vein of Descent, but with a few of its own tricks up it's sleeve. Chances are, if you were a console gamer, you remember Forsaken more than you remember Descent... And if you were an N64 gamer, the Forsaken you remember is completely different than the Forsaken that PC and Playstation fans got. This release by Nightdive, though, is easily the definitive version, combining both versions into one massive 30+ level game. As far as "remasters" go, this one is pretty modest - mostly consisting of quality-of-life updates such as high-resolution support, texture filtering, FOV adjustment, ambient occlusion, etc. Frankly, I appreciate the fact that the underlying graphics, polygons, and textures remain untouched - this is truly a great-looking and very colorful game, even in 2018. Gameplay is hard. Really hard. This game will unapologetically tear you to shreds. Newcomers, be informed - there is zero shame in selecting "easy." It's anything but. With some tweaking, I found that playing with a mouse is very comfortable and smooth, and get used to using all of your sliding and banking controls simultaneously, because Forsaken is fast-paced, and sitting still is tantamount to suicide. The decision for most enemies to spawn in means that you can't really pop around corners or funnel your enemies into a choking point - you frequently have to deal with enemies coming from all directions with little other than pure dodging skill to save your hide. Projectile-based gameplay means Forsaken essentially feels like Descent, if Descent were a bullet-hell sh'mup - save-scumming is encouraged. Failure rarely feels cheap, though, and each non-linear, objective-based level feels really gratifying to complete. Very fun, very challenging, tons of content. An absolute must-buy for hardcore 90's FPS fans, especially those familiar with either version of Forsaken, or with Descent.
