Space Marine 2 proves to be an excellent sequel, meeting the highest expectations. Despite some significant flaws in the extra modes’ balance, it remains a great title that comes close to masterpiece status.
Star Wars: Bounty Hunter Remastered fails to honor the legacy of Jango Fett. While the reliance on nostalgia may have yielded considerable profits, it has come at the cost of genuine care and affection for the saga. Though this critique of Aspyr’s efforts may appear severe, we remain hopeful for future remakes—or perhaps a dedicated Mandalorian title—that align more closely with both audience expectations and the true potential of the developers.
3D Realms missed a great opportunity with Phantom Fury. Serious gameplay and technical problems drastically lowered the quality of a title that had the potential to be a good shooter. Luckily the plot and the artistic level save the title from a complete and much more serious rejection. Although Phantom Fury is a courageous title, it shows the consequences of the incorrect balance between graphics, narrative, level design and gameplay.
Stalker: Legends of the Zone brings the historic Stalker trilogy to old gen and next gen. A remarkable work that demonstrates GSC’s love for the series. Some small errors that can be solved in the future via patches, overall an excellent job.
