I never played the original game before this, but I had fond memories of the sequel. Horror stories of the original UI and control scheme kept me away from this, but Night Dive Studios have made some very nice quality of life changes, Mouselook most notably. They also upscaled the resolution. Strongly recommend this version. As for the game itself, as long as you know what you're getting into, you'll enjoy it. Surprisingly immersive despite it's age.
