This game has been in my library for 15 years and for some reason it was always stuck in the back of my mind as one of those backlogged games that I wanted to, and definitely would eventually, play. Well, I finally did, and it's fun. Works great on Steam Deck too!
Really fantastic fun. Do wish it had multiplayer. Combat is engaging and the levels do vary in design. Wish the sequel continued this story rather than a reboot.
