This isn't the original game, it's some sort of remaster! It's just imitating the original game, it isn't real!

The THING about this game is that it still holds up well but Nightdive could/should have put more effort into it; here are some quick points from someone who played the original. GOOD: - upscaled and clean looking visual overhaul - AA, high FPS options (loved that there are options for 500 and unlimited because after 500fps you REALLY feel the difference), bloom - great atmosphere that you'll rarely find in a game - companions - story is full of mystery and you'll want to see what's next - sense of exploration, secrets, no hand holding BAD: - clunky radial menus interface - missed opportunity to make them work better since you'll have to switch items rather often (single click won't select and item, you have to double click etc.) - could use more Steam achievements - more effort should have been put in sound; there's no fade effect for example in a room where you'll hear the storm in one half and it just cuts out completely and instantly in other half (and the other way around); music sometimes just cuts out - rather unexpectedly high GPU usage (at 1440p/165fps it's 45 to 65% on RTX 4090; fellas, this isn't Cyberpunk 2077) - too short (less than 6h on Normal) It's fairly priced, but then again it's almost 30eur for a 22y old game and I'd expect more, especially in terms of UI and audio mix. I appreciate that Nightdive brough this back but it's also a missed opportunity. With all of that you should absolutely get it as it's very tense and unique but expect some rough edges.

Thank you Nightdive Studios for bringing this back to the modern day. One of my favourite games from my younger years. I have been transported back to 2002. What a lovely surprise!

Exactly how I remember this hidden gem just with a nice updated coat of paint and some quality of life improvements. Proof you don't need stupid performance crippling Ray Tracing to have a gorgeous game. Absolutely loving my return to Antarctica.
