After hearing many bad things about this remake, I was very hesitant. But after finally playing Dark War for the first time in late December, and enjoying the hell out of it, I decided it was time and I'm very glad I made that leap.

ROTT 2013 is a flawed but fun experience. If I hadn't played and loved the original so much, I probably wouldn't have had the patience to sit through the hiccups like getting stuck in geometry and the massive amounts of lag, especially when firing the shotgun.

The soundtrack has been remade with Andrew Hulshult at the helm, and damn does he rock the ♥♥♥♥ out of these tracks. They sound so damn good!

You can tell this release was a labour of love, and this lead to many other great things. In particular Dave Oshry with the New Bloods and Frederik Schreiber with 3DR and Slipgate.

So if you're a fan of ROTT and have a pretty high end comp (kinda necessary considering it's quite taxing on your resources), I highly recommend, but it definitely isn't for everyone.
