Both revolutionary and amazing today. The soundtrack, the art, the writing, the floaty yet tight gameplay... they all speak to a passionate man creating his singular vision over the course of years, constantly refining it into the gem it became. There's lots of fun challenge mods for this too even if the game already kicks your ass plenty.

Despite how linear and brief it is, this game is amazing to play repeatedly, the diverging weapon paths and the optional health kits and upgrades and endings give the opportunity for dozens of different gameplay experiences; but even if there were just one gun the joy and momentum of the game alone would be enough to make one keep returning to it.
