Rise of the Triad

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.

Unpolished, super jank and yet still somehow really fun and charming in its own way.

I purchased this game as soon as it came out in 2013 and couldn't play it and since then, i've upgraded. I Never got around to playing it again until now. Boy, did I miss out on some fun! It's ROTT through and through, just with modern tech. Love the new soundtrack but I really appreciate the option to use the classic soundtrack for the levels.

I'll allow my playtime to speak for itself.

Didn't like the platform levels. I don't mind the boomer shooter at all, I like boomer shooter games. Just didn't like the platforming aspect of it. It's straight dookie.

I havent played this game in years, but when I did play it i very much enjoyed it. For the time it came out, the Graphics were pretty good and the gameplay was a a lot of fun.
