Allow me a moment to lead off with a bombshell: I DESPISE remasters. Seriously. I hate them with the burning passion of a thousand collective infernos. However, somewhere within the recent glut of gaming regurgitations, there was one beacon of goodness that inspired genuine affection. It was a weird sensation to be sure, but sometime after learning that…
-
Destructibility is still fun as hell
-
A stripped-down open world that won't overwhelm the player
-
The visual remastering looks great, if you like browns, reds, and blacks exclusively
-
The gunplay hasn't aged well
-
A large map that seems rather dead
-
Texture pop-in and frame rate dips happen more than they should
