Blade Runner EE is a pure remaster: if you don't expect a complete revamp (smother backgrounds, the same 3D models...) you won't be disappointed. It's still a great adventure, and even if the new features aren't all equally well implemented and has its own flaws, for 9,29 euros you shouldn't think about it... if you love the genre.

It isn’t yet retirement time for the Blade Runner game, but as enhanced versions go, this one takes a solid game and sadly weakens it, much like a Replicant’s limited timespan tragically does to them.

Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition is a replicant of the cult classic adventure game, painstakingly created by Nightdive, and still an enthralling experience today. Changes will alert the keen-eyed detective, however, and it’s debatable whether this new version is ultimately any more ‘enhanced’ than the original.

Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition is for the most nostalgic players but it is not a game for people of this generation. The original story remains but the graphics have not aged well at all and as a result we have a clunky game. Only recommended for those who like the genre or who have played the original from 1997.

Finding anything positive about the new (sic) Blade Runner is almost impossible. The time-honored legend didn't age well in the remastered edition after 25 years, and perhaps it would be better if it remained only in our memories.

If you are really into the Blade Runner franchise and can put up with the shortcomings, I suppose you can get some enjoyment from Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition. Everyone else should take a pass on this remastered adventure game. Maybe if the studio comes out with a “More Enhanced” edition, with plenty more fixes in place, it may be worth another look.

I can’t recommend Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition, at least not in its present form. There are too many annoyances, too many unexplained systems, and not nearly enough lighting. If you really must check this out, I suggest leaving a FAQ open on your phone.

If you ever played Blade Runner the game on PC then you know just how good it is, sadly this "Enhanced Edition" does nothing to be worthy of the name. Surely, with AI upscaling tech being widely available even if the sprites had to remain low resolution and due to the nature of the pre-rendered backdrops 16:9 wasn't feasible it must have been possible to put the original backdrops through an upscaler to clean them up and use new fog/rain/etc effects so you could actually use the term "Enhanced Edition" and it be just that. For crying out loud there's even a tool on github called BR Mixer the devs could have used as a starting point to extract files from Westwoods MIX format so there's absolutely no excuse for this poor excuse of a "Enhanced Edition". The lack of gyro support is also problematic in any scene shooting is necessary, the default cursor sensitivity isn't good enough and anything above 2.5 is far too sensitive. I've also experienced a crash in my time playing the game as well. Given all the problems this "Enhanced Edition" has for one reason or another it's not worth shelling out a large amount of money for a physical copy - just wait for it to be on sale in the eshop for like £2.
