This game is interesting. Based off a comic series most people forgot or never heard of, it keeps to the world from the comics like it should. I played the original back in the day on Gametap (if anyone remembers that). It has a nice looking aesthetic over all, with a lot of it looking far better than the original release. The combat is a bit clunky, sticking close to the original combat system the original release used.

The good bits stay that same from the original. Entertaining combat, that at times can be repetitive if you spend to long playing. Difficulty seems well balanced with a nice ramp-up. Model work and animation is pretty well done. Has an alright pacing.

The bad bits carry over from the original; but also have new ones from this redux version. There seems to be holes in parts of geometry, as well as areas you can get stuck in. During my play through, I had to hard restart maps after getting stuck on or in geometry. I also ran into issues with enemies spawning places I could shoot or reach. Some of the textures also seem to stand out or pop. The AI can be fairly dumb; but then the next second they are instantly snapping to you, even when sneaking. A big carryover of problems from the original is the AI companion escorts getting stuck or lost.

Overall the game is good, not great. The big thing that pushes me to recommend it is the co-op play. This is definitely a great game to play with friends, especially if you know of the comic and like it. The game is fine on its own as a single-player experience though, albeit one that may be best in smaller game sessions. It does make me wish the original was still available.
