Let me preface this by saying that the 2014 remastered version of Crimsonland is all things awesome, excellent and amazing. This has also been quite an enlightening experience for me because when I first played the original game, I had to cheat to beat it. I also tried to cheat this game when I first got it, after I kept dying in the middle of the Normal difficulty. I couldn't find one so I decided to just face this game on its own terms. It was a stiff learning curve, but I finally managed to beat this game on Normal. I then beat it on Hardcore, and then finally, unbelievably, I beat it on Grim. I think that's quite an accomplishment for a sucky gamer like me. I found I enjoyed the game more without cheating it and I'm the much better player for it. I'm now replaying the game to get the stars, meaning I want to beat the game without a scratch. It's even more challenging and even more fun! There's hardly anything bad I can say about the game EXCEPT.... The Splitter gun just sucks. I mean, if beating the game on it's highest difficulty unlocks what is supposedly this awesome weapon, it better be the most awesome weapon in the game. But it's not. The reload time, even with the Fastloader/Toughloader perks, is just excruciating. The splitter effect it itself is amazing, but only when the weapon is firing. Then it's another long excruciating wait for the weapon to fire again. And oh yeah, the Blade gun, the one you unlock after beating the game on Hardcore also sucks. You already have the best weapons without unlocking the last two weapons. My two favorite weapons ( and I think they're the best in the game) are the Rocket Minigun and the Gauss Minigun. Those are the two weapons that got me to beat this game in all difficulties in the first place. However, those are just little nitpicks. I found the game very enjoyable, and I think I will continue to enjoy this for quite a while.
