Jul 14, 2024This is a decent remaster. Star Wars: Dark Forces looks better, and it became more comfortable. The game is worth playing for all fans of Star Wars and the FPS genre in general. And it's not so important which version to play, old or new.

Feb 29, 2024Star Wars: Dark Forces does a lot right in its remaster, but also wastes a lot of potential

Feb 28, 2024A decent remaster of an okay game. Not bad, better than middling, but not good. Given that it has the Star Wars license, Dark Forces was no doubt successful in 1995 and will most likely be successful now. And it should be. Because even mediocre games can be worthwhile, and they often have a story to tell. I’ll always be grateful when Nightdive and other studios go to the effort to revive them, and I will always be here asking for more.

Feb 28, 2024A little overpriced, but very nice new edition of a real shooter classic! Retro fans will get their money's worth, even if the limited storage system may deter some newcomers.

Feb 28, 2024Star Wars Dark Forces is a product of its time, with decent visual remastering, but the gameplay sadly doesn’t hold up.

Feb 28, 2024To less wizened players, this might, understandably, all prove too much to make this remaster either enjoyable or worthwhile. But if you're willing to try and divine the inner workings of Dark Forces with a bit of spit and elbow grease, then there's certainly an interesting artefact to be found here - even if it's frequently wonky and obtuse in places. Despite the aimless wandering, I did have a good time with Star Wars Dark Forces Remaster, especially after only experiencing it through a demo disc all those years ago. But I'm also glad it's over now, and that I can go back to playing properly new games again. In that sense, Dark Forces Remaster is a complete success. It's reminded me of a fun memory from a long time ago, and having now revisited it and admired it from every angle, I'm happy to put it back in the carbon freezer, far, far away.
