STAR WARS™: Dark Forces Remaster

This old school shooter still rocks. Only those maps with lots of platform jumping are frustrating.

I respect the technical and art remaster, but holy balls is this game infuriating to actually play. It is rare I ever actually regret spending time playing a game and this is it. You constantly have to look up guides to figure out if the level is actually just bugged or you missed a secret switch or key hidden somewhere to make the damn doors open. If it is bugged you have to replay the entire damn level. Some missions are good and actually fun, other ones are an unholy mess of backtracking, parkour, and wandering through identical hallways. This game also features ridiculously long puzzles, like literally 5 minutes waiting for a damn rotating puzzle tumbler to move that you have to restart if you miss a jump. The secrets are also incredibly frustrating to get to, like not even bother territory sometimes because if you fail you lose HP and potentially have to restart the mission. The devs love hiding landmines under item packs just as a last ♥♥♥♥ you for finding a lot of secret rooms and actually detonating the mines can be inconsistent. I'm just gonna say it, if the Empire actually designed its facilities to be these stupid crazy mazes the Rebellion would have lost. There's n…

Brain dead enemies, terrible level design, annoying ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ traps. It's a boomer shooter with blaster rifles, I see no issues here.

An abysmal, dull, and unfair game. This game has no saves, only a weird life system. That hurts when levels are so ballbusting. The weapons are basically all the same, rapidfire with maybe a shotgun altfire. The level textures and design is chaos. if the colors were changed on all the textures nothing would seem weird. The combat is shooting people in a field with like one cover or being in a corridor with no cover and stunlocking the same 3 enemies. I left at Nar Shadaa, and it would only get worse from there. If youre a star wars fan and not a boomer shooter fan, you might like it but not me.

I love shooting space Fascists.

Solid game and solid remaster. I imagine your enjoyment may vary with how much you like Star Wars.
