The graphics are outdated by the year. I can say that AI is the biggest factor that leads the game to disaster. Controls bad ground constantly slipping. You are encountering a lot of bugs. For example; You have to cross an electrified road in Wyndrax Tower and while I was passing a bug happened and HP increased to 4400 and armor to 13,000. So the game started crashing and I had to revert to my old save. Likewise in Mishima Labs the elevator stuck and not working etc. The game crashed at least 20 times until I finished the game. So what were the things that made the game good? The story isn't bad. Level design was fine. However, the first episode was so bad, there were people who left the game in the first place just because of it. It's like Unreal 1 but worse. The game gets better with episode 2. In Episode 2, the game turns into Hexen 2, I really like it. Quake 2 tracks in Episode 3 as well. Episode 4 is a little weak compared to 2 and 3, but overall good. Weapon variety is very good. It's really a shame to the game. While it was going to be a good game, it was unfinished. The late release of the game also caused a lot of reaction. But despite everything, I tried to enjoy it and episodes 2 and 3 gave me that. The reason I gave 6 points is definitely because the AI ​​and controls are so bad and bugs… Expand

    Daikatana is difficult. In that difficulty there is a fun and rewarding experience. The game was definitely over ambitious and was pushed back/redesigned on new engines for long enough to make it fizzle out beneath better FPS games of the day. It has it's bugs and issues.

The game was definitely over ambitious and was pushed back/redesigned on new engines for long enough to make it fizzle out beneath better FPS games of the day. It has it's bugs and issues. Most notably with your companions. If you figure out how they work and when to tell them to stay put rather than attack, they're not a serious issue. I give this game a positive score because I believe that underneath the controversy it's still an interesting game that's a lot of fun to trudge your way through. If you're an expert FPS it's worth checking out.… Expand
