So far so 1992… The visuals are superb as the retro style used here is not envisioned as some cheap, low-poly clutch to misplaced nostalgia but a rich and beautiful approximation of the essence of late last century gaming. The game simulates cathode-based display and shuns mouse as it instructs the player to either use keyboard or gamepad for navigation, both in menu and in-game.
