I guess I was hoping for something more like STALKER with open world and survival elements. It has couple of bigger maps, but overall it's a pretty linear game. It's very much a modern shooter with uncontrollable cutscenes and guick time events. The story is forgettable and people just talk, talk, talk and yet have really nothing interesting to say. I did beat the game and it's DLCs, so I guess it wasn't all bad. It was an ok experience, althought I wouldn't have missed much if I decided not to buy it.
I haven't played the original (I have it on Steam, but haven't got around to playing it yet) so I can't really tell how faithful of a remake this is. Overall I was very impressed by the demo and had fun blasting through it. Here's some of my key thoughts: - I love the old school scifi aesthetics - Great claustrofobic atmosphere - Gunplay feels intense - I like how the game tells you what you are looking at - I kinda like the pixelated textures. Gives the game a unique look, although I won't cry if they decided to change them. They don't look so good on character models Things to improve on: - Melee combat doesn't feel too great. The enemies need to be more responsive - The world is very static. You can't move things around or break stuff like computer screens - Performance
