Overall, really enjoyed the game. It grabbed me pretty quickly from the start and it was fun to crawl my way through the station. It took me 30 hours, which is seems to be on the longer side than most people, but I'm not sure if that's because I was pretty thorough, others have played the base game before, or I sucked. Probably all 3. I played on the standard difficulty for all settings. The fights were challenging, but the AI can feel a little dated - which I expected going in. The puzzles were fun, but also still took me some time.

The graphics were an excellent choice as they are hi-def pixelated. The game also ran great as I had everything maxed and upscaling maxed at 200%. The sound design was solid and while I think some of the voice actors were different than the original game, they all fit well and of course OG VA for SHODAN.

There are definitely some flaws, but it's one of the games I enjoyed the most so far this year. It was cool to see the influences it had on later games, especially Bioshock.
