Honestly, this game is ok. I'd only pick it up as a part of the HUNT bundle that also includes both the Classic and Ludicrous versions of old school Rise of the Triad though. This 2013 release is a product of its era where there was little confidence in classic 90s/00s style FPS games before Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal revived them. As such, it was "modernized" for the audiences of that time with an annoying checkpoint system. The production values also leave a lot to be desired as well as the A.I. is somewhat janky, the art direction and graphics could be better and the music is far less memorable than what you can experience in the Classic or Ludicrous versions of the 90s original. As other reviews mention, the Ludicrous Edition is the way you really want to play Rise of the Triad in current year. However, RotT 2013 serves as an interesting release and if you don't like it, there are some Steam trading cards to be had.

This game would both classify as being one of those fake games you used to see in old movies and one of those games that are so bad it's good. There are SO many bugs and glitches after not even playing it for that long and reading other reviews apparently win 11 makes the game crash all the time (works fin on win 10) so de be vary of that. But honestly it's actually a lot of fun and rather silly on top of that it even plays very well and the guns truly feel powerful. For 1,49€ on sale it's actually a really fun game and i personally don't get the "mixed" reviews although they may be attributed to poor performance on modern hardware. *Edit: Okay holy moly there's a lot of crashes later one, yikes.

Broken, If I run the x64, It crashes at the apogee logo, If I run the x32, It runs but Workshop levels completely breaks the game locking you into holding the power button and forcing your pc to shut down. Cause endless loading. It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sad when the MS-DOS ROTT Runs better than the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ modern remake.

I played through it years ago and it was a chore to get through. Go play the Ludicrous Edition of the original game instead of this heap.
