Reviews:
  • Remasters of games that are getting pretty old, especially when they’re from the earlier days of 3D adventures, are tough to evaluate. One the one hand there are no doubt people who grew up with them and have fond memories of enjoying them, on the other the style of play and expectations for these sorts of games have evolved so much since the dawn of the age that it can be a bit painful to look back. To the credit of the people and effort involved when you’re in-game everything probably looks about as good as you could hope in terms of the visuals for a game of this age, though as always new textures and smoothing can’t cover up how barren environments always end up being. The real dividing line though, where I think either you remember and love the game or you’re just checking it out now, is the pretty repetitive and generally weak gameplay which mostly just involves roaming around from A to B collecting orbs, enlisting help, or occasional bright spots with something unexpected. The limitations here are just a function of the time the game came from, and aren’t unique to it, just if you’re looking to invest in it you should probably take a long look and think it over first whether the nostalgia can likely carry the price of admission for you.
