Just a little article from me today. I've been enjoying a few cyberpunkish things recently:
- Psycho-Pass
- Dark Rain
- Cyberpunk 2077
...which reminded me that there was a semi-recent effort at bringing the classic Blade Runner PC game from 1997 to a new era of gaming. It didn't land very well (everyone hated the smoothed graphics nonsense they did for it), but on a subsequent update they did fix that.
Anyway, that recollection led to me installing it on my OLED Switch, which then made me appreciate the atmosphere and environments, the beautiful backgrounds and so on. The backgrounds in this game are truly top-notch.
SO, if you'd like a little rambling about how Westwood went against the grain when 3D gaming was really taking off, and instead focused on a point-and-click adventure, then follow the link as per usual:

Yes, it’s on my wishlist!
