Rise of the Triad 2013 (PC) Review

A lot of games sell themselves as a nostalgic experience these days. It's big business to go find something adults who grew up in the 80s and 90s loved as children and sell it to them again. And many of those adults will smile fondly at their memories and buy that small token to remind them of those days. Video games are no exception as over the past few years we have seen remakes, remasters, and special anniversary editions of games that used to run on pre-Pentium PCs and pre-CD-ROM consoles all over the place. The results can be varied from really cool to blatant cash-grab. And that's perhaps the biggest tragedy of this game. While it was clearly made by people who love the original and wanted to share that experience with modern tech, that love of the old and the nostalgia that comes with it is simply not enough to make a game great... or in this case good.
