I mean, it's from 1996. 3D games were in their infancy.

It's a very methodical and laborious game about checking every last corner and crevice for a way forward, and it's really not a game that concerns itself with flowing gameplay. Everything is awkward. It all feels very deliberate, from the block based layout to the walk button that takes you right the edge of them.

There's a few bits where you need to keep running and jumping (the timed flame puzzle for example) and those can be iffy, but there's not many. It's a game of its time, and they've preserved it all. I'm surprised how well it still holds up if anything, considering the gameplay is left as intact as I remember it.
