I miss the luster the original game had, especially during Act III and the introduction of glowing wretches, who in the remaster look more like Hell beasts than the Imulsion-filled monsters of the original. That aside, Ultimate Edition is a faithful remaster with an upgraded framerate, enhanced graphics, and the inclusion of the exclusive PC chapter in Act V (which isn't very good and fucks with the game's pacing, but hey, you fight a Brumak for like 30 seconds so... fun). There's some hiccups at times with weird checkpoint replacements of the characters and framerate dips, but for most, this will be the definitive version of an alright third person cover shooter that is unfortunately not as well-aged as its sequels 2 and 3. I don't think I'll ever play this nor the original again at this point.
