"We have Super Metroid at home"
I actually really respect this game for the sheer dedication towards making something based on the classics with this much care and attention, but its original inclusions are pretty questionably designed and make the game less fun. Story's serviceable at best, probably would've been better if they leaned into some vintage 80s toyline cheese instead of playing it mostly straight. Still, at least the game is pretty decently designed in spite of its shortcomings and is quite fun to explore around in

RATING: Love and Hate
It kind of feels like 3 steps forward and 5 steps back from the original Deus Ex. The upgrade system feels engaging and I like the stealth mechanics, but the health regeneration and excessive resource scarcity is kind of wack, and the world just isn't as interesting as the original. It's technically fine, but it just did not grab me like the original nor feel as satisfying to play
