Like many people, I’ve never played the original version or owned a Dreamcast, but fans of the classic work will love the claustrophobic third-person shooter experience in this new version. I would trade it for a 2.5D hack-and-slash experience. Set in a biomechanical nightmare steeped in HR Giger-inspired design, Slave Zero X immerses players in a brutal “biopunk” world straight…
