Game seems to lack basic ingame methods of controlling characters with arrow keys, and is impossible to navigate out of ingame via the in game menu as it doesn't respond to escape, backspace or the enter key (the usual keys), or any other that I've found. Given this is a standard 2D platformer, controlling with arrow keys is the basic minimum I'd come to expect, and among the other issue It's basically impossible to play this properly. And yes, while there is a menu to rebind controls, it does not read arrow keys there either.

This is amongst other minor issues, such as the game initially starting in fullscreen on a non-native monitor resolution (or refresh rate) causing the usual LCD resync delay and resizing of desktop windows, necessitating a change to borderless window in the options to make it stop doing that. And the default controls are rather confusing and all over the place, such as the default action being K of all things.

These aren't deal breakers on their own, and the performance seems to be fine, but the impression I get was this was some sort of rushed console to PC port and doesn't have a great presentation, in addition to being impossible to play on a keyboard in a traditional way. This could be better.

Contains both the original DOS version and an updated port with splitscreen, ease of access to popular mods and some other new functions, and is otherwise a completely unaltered experience of Doom2, gameplay and all.

It's the most finished, most updated version of everyone’s favourite artillery shooter. Why don't you already have this?

2 reasons why you would not buy this game:
1) You hate blowing stuff up.
2) You literally hate fun.

A brilliant recall to the past 20 years of Sonic the Hedgehog. Brilliant starting point for everyone else who wants to pick up somewhere in the series. You'll find yourself constantly replaying this.
