Shadow Man Remastered is a remaster of the original Shadow Man and gives it nicer textures, widescreen and supports high or higher resolutions.

I have to say, that i never played Shadow Man and never even saw footage of the game. When it came out for the N64, it was simply too dark for my younger self. Not that i avoided them on purpose, i just didn't found these game appealing at that time.
So this is why i'm kinda stumbling around in this game and poke every corridor to look for the right path i should go. This is totally fine, exploring is a part of a game too, but the first level is pretty much like a maze, so it's hard to distinguish, if i was at this part before or not. I guess people who played the original, doesn't have this problem anymore, since they wandered these paths before.

i played the most part of the video in the first person mode, third person would be fine, but this camera is directly behind Shadow Man and is mostly blocking the view on the path you want to go.

What i do like (as my older self) is the dark story, the enemy and character desing. If you prefer the original Textures, you can enable them and also enable/disable if you wish them to be smoothened.
The smooth textures sure looks like you're playing the N64 version and if you like it a bit more gritty, you can disable this, so that it looks a bit like Quake 1.

The music is also great, like most game music of that time. The trend wasn't there yet, to have more background noises with a hint of music in between and i really like it, when games still go for complete music tracks.
