Fun game, I like setting in game sky to earth and time of the day to real time of the day.

Play the remaster by Nightdive Studios instead. The RTX version feels like a downgrade in many aspects

Nice visuals, some of the darker areas does feel very much like Doom 3 but even more immersive. However I believe this release has some bugs, like enemies sometimes get stuck on things, sometimes they are very slow to react and the hitbox feels a bit off too. The Nightdive's remade is much more refined, but this one is free so it's ok.
