I played this game when I was younger on the PS3 and Xbox 360. Both times, I remember just how annoying it was to get Faith to move where I wanted her to or do the things that I wanted. So, when I got this (for free), I thought it might be better on PC. I was wrong. The game doesn't run great. There's a lot of screen tearing and stuttering. And I'm using a 1050Ti. It culminates in a frustrating experience where the controls seem to lag. Faith moves further than I intended or jumps later than expected. Movement is clunky. Since I've already played through the game twice on two different consoles, I decided not to finish this one. For my own sanity. However, the fighting in this game flows a lot better than in Catalyst. I don't know why, maybe because you can disarm guards and use the weapons against them in this game. Anyway, it wasn't really worth it for getting it for free. It just takes up space in my library. Maybe I'll try again when I get a new GPU, but I highly doubt it was the issue. I just don't think this game is a very good port.

I absolutely adored this game when I was a kid. It was probably the first PC game I ever owned, and it became the sole reason why I created a GoG account. It runs well on modern hardware. Probably better than it ever did on my parents' old Gateway computer with Windows 95. The game is still difficult though. I remember having to use cheats to get to the end. Well, some things never change. Maybe I'm just bad at games. Anyway, gameplay wise, I don't really know how to describe it. A top-down shooter? This is the only game of its kind I've ever played and really enjoyed. Tan enemies can sometimes be hard to see in certain environments. AI companions are bullet shields. So, almost completely useless. Story is honestly good. Super charming.
