I really loved this game. Super basic. Linear, sure, but with an open world feel. The level design rings of Fallout 3/4, where the level designers make brilliant use of very limited space.
I recommend this game VERY highly. I'm told it's not as good as the original version, but most folks who say that seem to be focused on graphics quality, which is something I don't really care at all about.
The difficulty curve can be intimidating, but it can be changed mid-game. If you feel a rage-quit coming on, take a break... Or just turn down the difficulty for 5 minutes. It's worth swallowing your pride to get to the end.
I am on an old Acer Nitro, and I had very few technical problems. The game ran smoothly, and the two freezes I experienced on my ratty old rig self-resolved in a few seconds.
This game heralds back to a day when storytelling was actually a respected element of game design. It is thoughtful, full of well written characters, and crammed with the kind of moral ambiguity that modern audiences despise.
This is one of a tiny handful of games that I've played since I started gaming that actually deserves five stars, and my gaming career started when I put a Pyramid 2000 cassette tape into a TRS-80 almost half a century ago. I've been at this for a long time.
Get this game. Period. Especially if you're fed up with the way modern games keep reskinning the same-old, half dozen, boring, politically correct, hackneyed games over and over and calling them "new titles."
