From a game dev perspective, it's been fascinating to play. In this post, I compare and contrast the original and this modern remake from a dev / design perspective. Still, overall this was a very impressive achievement for just 3 indie developers. The Forgotten City (2021). They had to rebuild Skyrim systems in Unreal.

Fellow indie devs have privately, harshly turned on me for saying this, but it is true. The gameplay is infinitely varied. I've met those people.

Perfect for pretending to have played Deathloop if you find yourself talking to a game dev. Not that you should ever talk to a game dev. They're small little bottles that blend-in with junk prop set dressing from a distance. I know it's easy for armchair indies like me to complain about pulling punches.
