Every time I give this game a go, it feels like it's still in beta, but with decent graphics. Gameplay is total shit. The light mechanic is just a lame gimmick. All you're doing is striping off enemies invulnerable shields so you can shot them. Enemies are lame and annoying to fight. It takes forever to strip off their shields, and then they take a ton of bullets to kill. Talk about unnecessary damage sponges, this game has two you have go through for most enemies. They're also very fast, and super accurate and can often times hit you even when you've clearly dodged. Alan on the other hand, is slow and lazy. He can't even run longer than a second or two. He get's stuck on every invisible twig/rock/whatever imaginable, can only take a couple of hits before dying. The levels and puzzles are poorly designed. Game is buggy as well. The story is also mediocre, with a lame cliff hanger ending. Remedy didn't bother fixing any of the game's major issues with the remaster, just polished the graphics some. A polished turd is still a turd.
