STAR WARS™ Dark Forces (Classic, 1995)

The atmosphere is there, but there are design elements which break the gameplay. It is possible to get stuck without notice and situations where it is impossible to get out of. This combined with the lack of saves during the level can mean lots of restarts. Some surprising aspect with controls, like I was unable to go against the stream in one level, but If I toggled between fullscreen, suddenly everything started to work. These all take away from a really enjoyable experence.

It was outdated even then (as it is 24 years old or so) but still I did love it back then. I am prety sure I remember most of the story I played through and I remember perfectly mission I stuck on (stealth one with releasing a prisoner). To me this game not Doom is symbol of mid 90s FPPS. With all that said, I dont think I could play it today and have same fun. I dont really care about graphics I play to this day in plenty of classical games (some of them from GOG:P) but as much as I love and respect Dark Forces.... it may just be a litle too retro even for me...

Played it many years ago. Fun getting the chance to play it again.

Glorious nostalgia, but hasn't aged well on it's own. If only the DarkXL project would update.

If you like DOOM and you like Star Wars, you'll like this game. I still haven't beaten it, but it's fun to break out and play sometimes. It is built on the DOOM engine, which some people love and others hate, but at least you know exactly the sorts of graphics and maps you will get.
