      Great–albeit long–introduction at the start! This was the era of in-game cinematics, and Lithtech graphics hold up reasonably well considering it’s over 25 years old. The Modernizer and widescreen patches help, for folks who don’t mind playing from modern Windows versions.

      Voice acting seems top notch. And it’s nice to see a female / British protagonist at the center of the story.

      Controls feel smooth, though ‘run’ speed feels like a brisk walking pace. We’ll see how it works out as the game progresses.

      The word that keeps springing to my mind to describe this game is “personality”. It has it in spades.

      I’m liking the variety in gameplay – some gunfights, some stealth, some sniping, some NPC interaction, and heaps of gadgets, most of which actually get a bit of use.

      Agreed on the voice acting – it’s very much above par. Except for most of the generic enemy voices. But even there the horrible accents are done with a tongue-in-cheek self awareness.
      And I think this game has the best passive enemy quips I’ve ever heard!

      Very much enjoying it so far. Surprised I hadn’t really heard of it before!
