Really amazing remake! It's an honest shame about the technical issues i.e. traversal stutter that plagues the entire experience.

Would have been such a high-calibre package if it wasn't for that, and really desperately needs to be patched. Unlikely though as EA property and their typical handling of games.

Regardless, the atmosphere through the audio-visual design was truly stellar and I was beyond impressed.

Sing me up for a DS2 remake for sure!

Part of me had forgotten how haunting this tale is. The isolation if palpable. The soundtrack and audio design is moving. The atmosphere is finely tuned. The lack of "gameplay" typical of walking sims is noticeable compared to contemporary titles in the same genre - i.e no examining books/letters/items of significance (more passive dialogue triggered events depending on your location).

Apart from that, this was a title I was very glad I walked back through for a repeated play, if not just to stare across the cliffs with wind ruffling my hair.

Some dumb sci-fi fun.

Doubt I'll remember too fondly with the passing of time, but I enjoyed my time with it enough to get all of the collectibles/fill out the index.

Kicking those birds and shooting them mid-air was a really satisfying 1-2 combo.
