I had consciously been putting this game and series off since my early childhood for a point where I could play and digest it all in a consistent sitting, and I really can't say that after 20 years of anticipation I was disappointed.

As this was my first playthrough a lot of the personal enjoyment more came from connecting all the fragments I had already been privy to via pop culture, but even besides that narratively this game is fascinating. It builds an amazing world and universe that is ripe for further exploration, but everybody's already said that a million times over of course.

I honestly can't think of anything new to say about this game that hasn't already been rightfully said of it. Personally, I found some of the later levels progression system of "fight through 20-30 gray corridors killing a constant onslaught of aliens and bugs until you get to the objective" a little tiring after a while, and also I managed to get lost in a couple of levels but I'll chalk that up to my faults versus the games.
