Westwood’s Blade Runner nails the atmosphere: moody visuals, noir tension, and a faithful extension of the film’s world. Unfortunately, the gameplay doesn’t live up to the promise. Progress often stalls on arbitrary triggers, characters fail to appear, and the branching narrative feels opaque rather than intriguing. What should be a detective story becomes a frustrating cycle of broken progression and reliance on walkthroughs. Beautiful idea, disappointing execution. 2/5
