This review is more a reminder for me than for others

I had played this years back and had forgotten why I dropped it. So picked it back up again recently and it was relatively enjoyable, the plot was simple but with an interesting enough hook and the characters were pretty interesting too as expected of Bioware. But the more I played, the more the small annoyaced piled up on the gameplay side.
The level design is boring, long and confusing to navigate, in-game map does not help. The combat has very little strategy to it and clunky on top. Actually the combat for melee duels look great since the animation does most of the heavy lifting, the really nailed the SW prequel movie type combat but it's so bad for anything else.
All of these issues are something I could put up with individually, but it's a death by thousand cuts type of deal. I could have pushed on just for the story and characters but I choose to spend time on other games that I would enjoy more.
A shame cause I really was looking forward to what's so good about KOTOR 2. Let's hope the remake comes out someday.
