Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
125 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The only good thing about this game is the story, cutscenes (when not in Remaster mode) and the superb voice acting.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
97 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The world, despite the old, blurred, pixelated textures and rough polygonal models and environments still feel quite real and believable.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
68 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting in this game remains some of the absolute best in the business with the talent of Michael Bell, Simon Templeman, and Tony Jay among many others, all of whom give outstanding performances which elevate the stellar writing by Amy Hennig.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This time around it even works great on Steam Deck and here it actually blends well with the option to put it to sleep anytime (and resume later) so no more worrying about checkpoints!
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The option to switch between classic and remastered visuals is a great nostalgic touch, and the added quality-of-life features—right-stick camera, photo mode, controller support—help the games feel far more playable today.
