I read some reviews about this game mentioning relentless difficulty, impossible platforms, unfair checkpoints, and performance issues. I’m not exactly sure if these things were fixed in this latest version, but I didn’t see any of those problems. There’s nothing relentless about the difficulty—actually, on easy mode (which I played just to relax) I found it pretty smooth. I also didn’t find any impossible platforms! No issues like that at all! No problems with checkpoints either, since the game has quick save and it works perfectly. The game runs light and flawlessly on my modest machine (4060) with all settings maxed out. It has the same vibe as the original, but many things have been improved, like the graphics (obviously) and they also added a jump button. A varied and fun arsenal that causes plenty of destruction. Personally, the only thing I didn’t like much was the music, but that’s a matter of taste—I just turn it off and put on something else to listen to. I’m an old-school gamer from the 90s and I loved this remake—for it to be perfect, it would only need that transparent map that was common in games from that era. My score is 8.5/10! Truly a great game!
Respectful Sci-Fi Horror, Faithful to the Original Review: Faithful to the classic but with modern graphics, this game delivers flawless gameplay wrapped in an intense atmosphere of science fiction and horror. It doesn’t hand anything to you on a silver platter: you have to fight your way forward, figure out what to do, and find your path through the massive space station. There are no arrows or markers telling you “go here and do this,” yet the game never feels unfair or punishing like a Souls-like. The balance between challenge and progression is excellent. Verdict: Highly recommended! 10/10.
