This game is such a beautiful love letter to old school JRPGs. Real Golden Sun vibes at times. If you enjoy any of what I just mentioned, it's worth giving this one a shot.
It's fun thinking about this game. I think it's a great game for people to play even if they don't have the nostalgia. Holds up well. Steam Deck verified (naturally). There are more and more indie FPS games inspired by Half-Life 2 and some of its styles and gameplay loops - and all of them are so fun. O.G. Halo + This, and you have the backbone and inspiration of a lot of great games.
One of my favorite games ever. Does anyone else remember the promotional VHS tape that Nintendo Power sent out to promote this game? As a kid, that was the coolest thing. I bought a Super Nintendo because of it.
