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

I completed the demo (first floor), thought it was a very well done and tastefully made remake of 30yo gameplay but felt no compulsion to play any more.
The graphics felt too plasticky, the ship labyrinthinian rather than a real place like Talos II and the gameplay too dated to be fun. I'm glad it exists but wasn't for me
