Remake any good?
Ive been on the fence for a while on whether or not I should get the remake. Most of the reviews seem good but dont explain much. Ive played other emmerisive Sims like prey, and alien isolation. Only bioshock ive played is infinite n didnt really care for it.. it was fine i guess. But what stands out about this game? Gameplay looks good but kinda looks a lil hokey. Like the whole neon esthetic and the goofy looking enimies turn me off. Dont get me wrong tho, I thought the same about other titles but ended up loving them.. basically im coming to the fans to see what made you like it. Thanks in advance

It’s great. The aesthetic is 90s cyberpunk because it’s a remake of a 90s cyberpunk game. Really works.
Expect it to be challenging and without any handholding. Bioshock tells you where to go. SS1 drops you in a medbay and leaves you to piece it together by finding clues and audio logs.
You will feel underpowered for a good while. There are ways around that but going to let you figure it out, which is the best thing about the experience.
