I'm usually not prone to exaggerations, but this is a monumental game. It goes to show that all is needed are people with vision and love for what they are doing. Clearly better than the base game and, unfortunately, plagued by the same engine issues, this is otherwise a long and complex story with excellent replayability (at least for the main factions). The reconstruction of London is incredible, the quests are well designed, the dialogue is well written, and even the voice acting, which is usually substandard in similar efforts, is remarkably well done. More than 100 hours of playing time for free is just the cherry on top. Bethesda should take notice, because this is exactly what fans want.

Nostalgia aside, this game does have a few things to offer. The visuals are good, the voice acting fun (though I did not like Foster having an American accent) and the story moves along nicely. But it is an overall weak affair, since the puzzles are too few and repetitive (and some downright stupid). Worth a try, if it is on sale, but do not pay full price for this.

Loved the atmosphere and the music. Pixel art was a bit uneven, but totally acceptable. The story is good, albeit not particularly original. The duration of the game is also very satisfying, one never feels that it was rushed to market. Unfortunately, the puzzle design is horrendous. Even when in-game hints are given, they can be given at random times rendering them useless. The dialogue is also extremely badly written making the characters annoying and poseur-ish. So, even though I mostly enjoyed the game (I got it for free here, so I can't complain), I cannot recommend it. If GOG gives it away again at some point, then it might be worth a look.
Really liked the pixel art and was pretty satisfied with the story. Many reviewers here have complained about the voice acting, but I thought it was OK. The controls weren't great and some of the puzzles were quite stupid and annoying. I also had a potentially game-breaking bug (apartment had disappeared from the map), but luckily I could repeat the steps to find it again. I did not like the fact that there was no option to tell the truth at the end.
