STAR WARS™: Bounty Hunter™

This game made me nostalgic for a time I wasn't even born yet... I also loved the added lore for Jango before we saw him in AOTC. I really appreciate the added depth to his character while still keeping him mysterious and intimidating. 8/10

Bounty hunter is a faithful remaster of the original, though mostly uplifting the textures, resolutions and availability of the game. For pretense, I enjoyed this game, jank and all. On sale, I'd say it's worth the buy if you want to try it. Otherwise, it's mostly the original game. This means it has all the same good, bad and ugly of the original as well: - The enemies: They're fine to start, but will become bullet sponges down the line... While also increasing their numbers, this means most of the game will be spent breaking down health bars unfortunately. -- The game will also always try to ambush you with them, and spawn them behind you... Not very cool. - Bounties: They're a fun gimick, but if you want to 100% it, you'll have to scan *during combat*, which means rapidly switching out your guns for the scanner (since the scanner is also a weapon) to scan *every* enemy or civilian that you come across... That gets tiring pretty quickly, so only pursue at your own risk of burn out. -- Not to mention the AI loves jumping off cliffs, so you may lose a bounty by accident. - The levels: Honestly, I think all the levels are fairly well designed, forcing you to use all the moveme…

Hits right in the nostalgia 10/10

Mouse controls randomly change my sensitivity, I have not found a way to fix it. The camera often will fight you and spin around sometimes. A shame, would have been a decent port if the devs would correct these issues.

Some of the level design can be really frustrating, with a few stages dragging on longer than they need to, but it's still a very cool game overall I liked that the game never really tries to make Jango out to be a hero. He's a ruthless bounty hunter doing dirty work for whoever hires him, and the game is better off for sticking to that. If you can put up with some dated level design, it's an easy recommendation

Bounty Huner fancies pretty graphics and nice voice acting, yet disappoints where it matters the most - at level and gameplay design, a plot, and when it comes to this version of the game in particular - at being a good remaster. Gameplay is one of the most boring and annoying experiences: it's a shooter game where character aims automatically, has unlimited ammo on main weapon (blaster pistols with rate of fire of a machine gun), and generally has no problems dealing with silly and inaccurate enemies - that's the boring part. The annoying is how it all is executed: - Jango's auto-aim is very random, he either locks onto everything in the vicinity or can't kill a guy two meters away from him. That, coupled with disorienting button layout (both legacy and modern versions), makes guiding him an extremely unpleasant task. There is, however, an ability to use the manual aiming mode, but it limits Jango's movements, has extreme sensitivity on controller (and is simply broken in modern buttons layout, constantly zooming in and out of aiming mode) and is jerky on a mouse. - Enemies oftenly can't put up any meaningful resistance, mostly missing their shots. Perhaps their helplessness wa…
