Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster Reviews
Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster is a welcome homage to the 1995 classic, offering an updated experience for the fans of the saga. Though it presents notable upgrades, such as the better graphics and revised gameplay, the absence of substantial additions may leave some players wishing for more innovation. However, for those looking to revive Kyle Katarn's adventures in a distant galaxy, this remaster will definitely deliver a satisfactory journey in a relevant chapter of Star Wars's expanded universe.

I can safely say that Star Wars Dark Forces Remastered was made by a team that really admires and respects the legacy of the original 1995 title. The extras and graphic updates introduced in this remaster are really welcome, but, at the end of the day, it's still little to make it an attractive offer for those who already have the classic PC version.

Nightdive’s treatment of Star Wars Dark Forces, one of the greatest first-person shooters ever, sets the bar even higher for future retro re-releases.
Nightdive Studios did a fantastic job at bringing Star Wars: Dark Forces back from the grave. With older games becoming less and less playable, it’s nice to see Dark Forces get a proper port to modern platforms, and I can’t wait to see what the studio does next.
Nightdive Studios is once again remastering a nineties classic and this time the honor has gone to the illustrious Dark Forces, the first Star Wars first person shooter that already shined with its own light in 1995 and will do so again now, in an outstanding remastering that No Star Wars fan should miss it, even if you've played the original.

While the retro graphics take some adjustment like what is and is not a switch or door that can be manipulated, the randomness of Blaster fire, and enemies who do not employ some of the more advanced A.I. tactics; the game is great fun to play.
Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster enhances the graphics of the original in a proper style that is true to the nearly 30 years old classic and delivers good gamepad controls. That's fine for fans of the LucasArts classic and retro gamers who want to revisit the game. But except for them, the game is too far away from a current game production to make it a worth buy for everyone.

The Force is strong with Nightdive. They took an old, but iconic Star Wars shooter, adapted it to their magnificent engine, remade its assets, tinkered with the presentation and gameplay, and delivered the ultimate Dark Forces experience. A game once touted to be borderline forgotten is now available on modern platforms in way that makes its original build feel like crap in comparison.
Star Wars: Dark Forces Remastered is a remaster done right. Its main issue is the game it is remastering doesn’t hold up to modern titles well enough. If you have that itch to dive back in and the $30 price isn’t too much then it is well worth the price. If you don’t have those feelings though, it’s tough to recommend.
