This is another game that I played at release but didn’t finish. This time I played the remastered version by Nightdive Studios, which is pretty faithful. It feels like they did a great job cleaning it up but not changing the game in any real way.
The soundtrack is excellent throughout. I also like that the levels are mazes that come back on themselves and you progress by finding keys to later levels within them rather than just getting to the end.
The enemies became real bullet sponges by the end, particularly the bosses. You just have to unload tons of ammunition into them whilst they don’t react.
There are several platforming sections which can be very frustrating in the first person viewpoint. Metroid Prime was only a few years after this though and I don’t remember it being an issue there so much. I’ll have to go back and play that again soon.
