Playing this game for the first time in the year 2021, with the help of the fan made 1.3 patch, I was able to both play through the entirety of the game with no issues, as well as actually enjoy it. I have only completed this game without sidekicks, and I wouldn't recommend playing with them. Not having Mikiko or Superfly to babysit allows you to speed through levels without much of a need for backtracking. The weapon design is some of the most unique I have seen in an fps, and despite the fact some of the weapons end up doing more damage to you than your enemies I still found Daikatana to be a unique fps experience. Overall, this game isn't without issues, however 2 decades later a lot of progress has been made to make this game an enjoyable experience.
