Now With Slightly More Master

Shadow Complex Remastered is not an exceptional example of remastering: While this iteration does have high-quality textures, and can run at modern resolutions, other technical aspects of the game are unmistakably from a six-year-old downloadable title. Cutscene close-ups show a dearth of model polygons. Movement animations lack the smooth sophistication of current-day motion capture. Even the voice samples audibly suffer when a character yells too loudly.

But that aside, it's still Shadow Complex, and it's still a great Metroid-alike. This is just about as good a time as you can have sneaking through a facility, finding hidden passages, collecting upgrades, and punching paramilitary stooges to death.

And sure, it still has the original game's pacing issues, and frustrating depth-based aiming problems. But it's also free. That's a solid deal.

Better than: The original Shadow Complex
Not as good as: Dust: An Elysian Tail
And again, uh: Free. Well, free with an Epic Games account, and via their Epic Games Launcher, which exists for some fucking reason.

Progress: Finished the story, 89% map completion, 60% item collection.
