Resounding proof of our minds’ abilities to embellish fond memories. A lot of the color and depth I remember from this game did not actually exist and had been filled in thru 20 years of pop culture ubiquity. Everything after the destruction of Sector 7 is a slog, and the characters are cool to look at, but ultimately shallow. Even harder to play after the superior remake.

A truly bizarre experience. The cat's spot-on mannerisms and behaviors can't overcome its dead-eyed, uncanny-valley expressions, nor can its initial charms last in a narrative driven almost exclusively by the cat's companion. I ultimately felt nothing for The Cat as it is little more than a conveyance for the true soul of the story; it was like playing The Witcher as Roach.
