    Consolified but still fun

    Firstly, I completed HEROIC MODE of the original Hard Reset back in early 2014, and have 61 hours logged in for that game.

    I just completed the first level of this redux version on steam.

    I was very disappointed to see that the visuals are DEFINITELY worse. It has been made gamepad-friendly with infinite dash and sprint, which is actually great for M+KB controls as well, but I think the animations are less fluid, even the robot arms in the main menu have jagged movements, and the explosions are not nearly as beautiful as they once were. Other than the jagged animations, the framerate does seem to be a little better but not much.

    This should be called "CONSOLIFIED" rather than "redux".

    With that said, I have missed this game. It is still AMAZINGLY fun and satisfying. This dumbed-down version is still worth the $3 to me. You are essentially playing the 'Shadow Warrior (2013)' character in this game and just because of that I will absolutely play this to completion and do heroic mode again. It's just too fun.

    The original PC-exclusive game is still the best version though, so as a huge fan of this game, I would rather people remember that version when they think of Hard Reset.

The graphics aren't really improved, although the game still looks great despite being about five years old. Instead, Hard Reset Redux is both an excuse to release the game on PS4 and as a way to fix the very flawed original. It almost works.In Redux the difficulty and enemy placement is reworked, which is a good thing since the original was often very poor in this respect. I seem to ...
