More than anything this game is interesting for being the first "Looter Shooter". Honestly what makes this game even more interesting is the fact that the dungeon crawlers it was based on were a mostly dead genre when it came out. Even the ones that did were mostly PC exclusive. So being able to get any dungeon crawler type game on a console was awesome enough.

The game itself is alright, shooting feels alright, story feels alright, loot feels alright, art is alright. Nothing done specifically well but for being the first of it's kind it has a unique charm and edge. I guess one thing this game has is a lot of content especially when it's the complete edition. So if you do like what you see there's more of it.

As for the "remaster" they released I believe it was mostly QOL of stuff which is fine, at the end of the day if you want a real upgraded version of the game you can just go for one of the sequels.

You can safely skip this if you want and just play 2 or hell even 3 although 2's main villain, Hansom Jack, is worth seeing.
