The reason I gave this game a 4 , its not because i don't like it, all the contrary, I love the LOK Series. Overhaul I love the series and Keep them coming! I like to see things like this happen! The game has great visuals, and quite similar controls to the original, nothing bad with a little clunk. I gave it a 4, because i feel like this studio could have incorporated better graphics while still retaining the original aspect, it threw me off at first and im getting used to it, but there are certain enviromental lighting that could have been adressed. One example is the torch lighting, like i know what they were trying to do, but the torch effects looked somwhat dated, and looked like water reflections rather than torch lighting. looks goofy, but i know the intention, touch of the old, touch of the new. Also the water rendering could have been improved along with some of the lighting, add maybe reflections in the water make it more fluid and light in the enviroment. I love that they took out that awful motion blur inside the water and brightened it up a little in SR2, Making it less tideous to navigate the water at the beginning and coming back.
I have revisited this game many times, and it is definately a well written game, of paradoxes and choices. It is truly a marvel to see this game age so well in terms of writing, leaving you to your own imagination as to what could have happened, that cause the world of nosgoth to become a true mess of time travel. Highly recommended, the artwork and visuals are amazing for 1996, voice acting is top notch and the dialog of this game and story makes it worth playing it over and over again
