30 years later the games controls are still completely garbage. This is not worth $10 now, and was not worth whatever my parents paid for it when i was a kid. The graphics are still really awesome, but my GOD when i have to actually ninja my hands just to get the jump to work while sprinting, we got issues. Theres a solid reason this game isnt generally reflected back on as being memorable. Dont waste your time. If youre going to PORT something and offer a modernization for it, dont make it a slight visual upgrade, fix the awful controls. This game was ass in the 90s, and is the exact same in 2026.

Controls cannot be remapped. Default is arrow keys for movement. Otherwise, great classic.

A classic with the needed enhancements to play these days. It's a short game with the difficulty set to make it artificially longer as it used to be on the original time of release. Controls are not so great in modern days context, it is noticeable that it is a game from DOS era ported to 16-bit consoles. Definitely a great story that resembles Total Recall.

I can't use items in the game. The game testers somehow missed this? There is no button on the keyboard or xbox controller that uses items therfore making this game unplayable. How did they miss this?

I love the setting and stuff but it is just so tedious to play

The music and sounds are wrong.

Отличная игра из детства в прекрасном исполнении. Все хорошо сделали, дополнили. Удобно играть геймпадом Xbox 360. НО! Руки всё же лучше помнят клавиатуру))) Возможность перемотки конечно интересная, но всё же надо играть как в 90-е хардкор)) Русификатор заработал только на купленной версии.
