Great game, subpar remaster
Nightdive usually delivers impeccable work, but Forsaken is one of their lesser efforts. While the remaster itself is competent, it suffers from very annoying bugs, mostly related to the save function. For instance, if one picks up a collectible item called crystal and then loads up a save prior to picking it up, it won't respawn again. The most impactful bug, however, are instances where creating a savegame will invariably crash the game. The only solution to this is to restart the level or continue playing from the last save. This bug has been around since 2018, yet to this day nobody at Nightdive could be bothered to fix it. Lastly, quicksaves do not work at all for me. The save bug is particularly bad due to how challenging of a game Forsaken can be. The levels are vast and open, and realizing where to go and how to progress isn't always easy, which is why some levels take upwards of 20 minutes to beat. In addition, the developers like to spawn enemies right behind the player or lay traps, requiring one to adapt a cautious approach. Over time, one learns how the level designers think and gets used to the difficulty, but some level of challenge is always present. Remarkably, Forsaken is almost always fair, save for instances where an environmental hazard kills one, and after respawning one has to pick up all of one's items in the same spot, which of course will kill one again. For situations like these, being able to save one's game beforehand is pivotal, but as mentioned, this fails sometimes. When it released back in 1998, Forsaken was one of the most graphically impressive games around, and it still holds up today. The washed out textures look surprisingly good, and the colorful weapon effects create almost psychedelic images. Coupled with the engaging soundtrack, Forsaken keeps one hooked throughout, and replayability is excellent due to the levels being stuffed with secrets. For those who can handle some frustration, Forsaken is worth a recommendation.
