I never played that one, just the original which I was not particularly
fond of.
Of all the Build engine games I think the one I liked best (after Duke
Nukem 3D of course,) was Blood.  

Shadow Warrior was kinda meh, like a Jackie Chan movie done by Adam
Sandler, with him mugging at the camera in every scene.
It's "humor" got old fast.

I pretty much don't bother with remakes these days since they're all
made to the modern ADHD teen taste with QTEs and such.

The remake of Tomb Raider (and subsequent games in that series) kinda
soured me on remakes completely unless they have the ORIGINAL gameplay
intact and just updated graphics/engine and no one is really making
those.

One single QTE in a game, I will not buy it.
Control systems designed for a console controller, I will not buy it.

I use a PC, I want a damn game designed for a PC, not a port or a design
compromised hybrid.
