A classic, through and through. I love me a good ImSim, so seeing one of the early progenitors of the genre was hugely rewarding despite the obviously dated elements of the experience. Bioshock and the newest Prey may have it beat in terms of modern QOL updates and aesthetics, but there's a real magic here that I've never felt playing another game of its ilk. Absolutely worth a playthrough even if a few sections are real hair-pullers.

Full disclosure: I did cheat to complete the last sequence of the Many and the final fight against Shodan, but I don't feel too bad about it; those sections of the game are so egregiously broken that I'm shocked anyone managed to complete them back before the days of serious modding.
