This texture pack is actually great, it just might not be for everyone. Firstly, new textures are hardly noticeable when you look at things from distance or if you are frantically running from the mutants. This is for people who appreciate details and take lots of screenshots. Secondly, many players prefer texture packs from Nexus over this one, which is perfectly OK, but things is, not everyone wants to mod their game. The main strength of this pack lies in it's simplicity: if you don't want to mod your game for whatever reason, you'll get better looking Fallout for free with literally one click. As for performance goes, I have zero issues with 6 GB GTX 1660 (4 GB cards users might have problems) and loading times from SSD are mostly in 15-45 seconds range so no problem there either. In conclusion I'd happily recommend this texture pack to everyone with exception of people with limited internet access (yes, it's huge) or people who are planning to heavily mod their game and are experienced with doing so.
I discovered this game twelve years ago and I still play it - in fact, this is the game which brought me to GOG :-). But it is not only about my memories and personal preferences, this game is real good - it has great graphics, tons of beautiful levels with great visual variety, perfect ship upgrade system (you had to replay whole game twice to get all possible upgrades) and, of course, great story. You usually don't expect story in 2D scrolling shooter, but this game has story which is both rich and entertaining. In short, Tyrian presents its own universe which is fun to discover a fun to play, even after all those years. NOTE: Yes, there is OpenTyrian project which allows you to play Tyrian natively even on 64-bit Win 7, but it is based on original Tyrian, not Tyrian 2000. Main difference is that original game lacks 5th episode and many ship upgrades, which makes Tyrian 2000 far better and more polished version.
