Still some wonkiness overall, and im pissed that I had to buy the whole game over again at full price when I already owned the original SOD, but i do love this game. Right up my alley.

Good turn based combat, though i wished there were more varied abilities. Good music. Great atmosphere/ setting. Story couldve been more fleshed out. Ending was obvious. Wouldve appreciated more enemy variation and more to explore. More weapon varieties. Overall a very competent game, although Id wait until it was $15-20. at least. 8.0/10 but prolly wont play again. Theres just not much replay value.

Seems like an interesting enough game. I love mystery games like this. Ive bought this game 3 times to try to get to play it. Once the disc was bad, once they sent it for the wrong system. When I finally torrented it for PC, it worked, but people said you needed a gamnepad. I bought one, and still, the controls were awful.

Well im pleased to say that the gamepad controls are now ever so slightly less ♥♥♥♥♥♥. That is to say- the controls are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ass. We'vce had third person gaming now for at LEAST 20 years. Im not sure why trying to control my character has to feel like im driving a car with a spoon glued to the steering wheel (this is a completely apt analogy. You'll see).

A police officer is pounding at my door. I have to rid the house of evidence. I pick up a bloody rag (which for some reaosn requires contextual right analog stick motions instead of a regular button push), and hurriedly carry it over to the window to toss outside. I find theres no option to throw it outside. Almost out of time, I frantically mash buttons to try to drop the bloody rag. Come to discover, the only option to rid myself of the rag is to walk back to the EXACT SPOT where I picked it up, and drop it. Stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid. So thanks to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ tank-esque controls, im caught red-handed (literally) when the cop bursts in thru the door. THANKS DEV TEAM.

That said, story seems interesting. Lot of different options. Switching characters, and different characters find different clues and conversation points.

All in all, 7/10 thusfar.

EDIT: I take it back. ♥♥♥♥ THIS GAME. Ive never yelled ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ YOUUUUUUU at a game so many times. Never been so close to putting a controller thru the screen as i am right now while playing this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game. ♥♥♥♥ this game and its garbage ass controls.

What a shameless cash grab. I can find nothing "remastered" about this game. Its just as frustrating as it was the first go-round. Hell i only payed $5 for this and im annoyed. I had a torrented copy of this for free that played just as well.

Lazy.

And yes...I mad.
