I feel like this game was made by two different developers. The first 4 hours of this game are so drastically different and significantly more enjoyable than the rest. I respect this game a lot, I love what it's trying to do, and I'm happy that it resonated with a lot of people, but I could not wait for it to be over. By no means a bad game, but one that I could not personally get into.

It's aged I'll say that much. I've played this game a handful of times and I definitely notice a new thing I don't enjoy about it every time I play it. Despite that though I still think this is one of the most creative and enjoyable platformer-fps hybrids that has come out in the last 20 years. It is extremely clunky and the presentation of the game is definitely where they put all their eggs. It's a shame there was never a proper sequel since they were clearly setting one up. I love this world, and the character of Faith Connors. I love how alive and free the game makes you feel in its best moments, of which there are plenty. This is an invigorating experience, and though you might be turned off by it initally because of how rough around the edges it is, if you let it into your heart I think you'll be surprised by how good it actually is when you're not dealing with clunky combat sections and awkward controls. A flawed, but extremely memorable and lovable experience. Soundtrack rips too.

I think I prefer the original for two reasons. The first being that there's a certain charm to the original that is just not present here and the second and more important reason being that nearly all of the boss fights got significantly worse. This isn't a big problem in the first half but it becomes a substantial problem when you spend more time in the lab. The Sherry section was also awful. Still in its best moments this kicked my ass and was a pleasure to play. Solid remake.
