Pleasantly surprised with this remake of the original PC game given the difficult journey this game's development went through. Its visual style has a nice balance between pixelated objects and modern graphics that's true to how the original game looked decades ago.

I think it "feels" appropriately modern when it needs to be like the combat and hacking into cyberspace, but manages to retain that old school feel when it asks players to keep track of current objectives and passwords on their own instead of having a side bar saying "GO HERE" (at least on the default difficulty settings).

The game does not have the most satisfying of ending sequences, but as a whole I would still recommend people to try it out whether for nostalgic reasons or if this is your first time experiencing the original.
