AI flagrantly cheats by input reading constantly, but everything really is an upgrade over the original entry. They brought in the blood! I mean come the fuck on. Everything on this is fuckin great outside of the normal campaign. Seems like this was meant to be played with another human lol.

I mean yes this game is great, I just suck and the controls/map are not the greatest. The people that say space jump controls work are coping to the fucking max. I cannot for the life of me make the space jumps work. Also grapple beam is unbelievably clunky to use. I could never get the appropriate timing to have the right momentum + release the grapple to get to a higher ledge. It felt like water torture at times. idk, I obviously enjoyed the game and understand how absolutely seminal it is to video games in general, but I actually prefer Zero Mission lol. Maybe this will warrant replays for me to rate this higher, but I found myself peeking at guides multiple times because I forgot where I was as the maps are archaic dogshit to use. I found myself getting stuck at where the fuck to go numerous times...again, skill issue probably, but whatever, it is what it is. But yeah, incredibly tense, wonderfully alien atmosphere, cool upgrades, horrifying boss fights, brilliant music, yaddayadda.
