    It is difficult to find anything wrong with Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition and you cannot really compare it to modern releases. Every part of the game oozes the passion of the developers for this genre, and this translates into a really engaging experience for those who lived through the glory days of the 90’s shooters, or those who recently fell in love with this genre. Of course, many of the gameplay elements seem somewhat primitive compared to the standards of today’s FPS games. But the Ludicrous Edition is an anachronic experience that does not want to feel modern, rather it brings back a happy part of our childhoods wearing a bargain price tag.

    Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition is a lovingly made restoration of a cult favourite FPS title that significantly improves the source material. However, it can’t hide how fundamentally dated and limited the core design is. It just doesn’t stand the test of time like Doom or other classic 90’s shooters. Nonetheless, old-school FPS fans, and those looking for a shooter that doesn’t take itself too seriously, will be pleased and punch with this truly definitive version of Rise of the Triad.
