There are plenty of mods for this game that make it more bearable as an adult coming to revisit this. They also open up more avenues of fun and quality of life improvements if you are trying to grind 180 emblems but not spending superfluous amounts of your precious time doing so.

This game still has plenty of shortcomings, but also has cool gameplay mechanics and sweet looking levels (although the textures for sure don't look so hot nowadays, but that's to be expected). My biggest gripe the entirety of my time playing was the camera actually. I don't know how I dealt with the camera angles as a kid. Really brings out your inner gamer if you know what I mean.

Soundtrack is insanely good, still holds up and makes up for the cheesy dialogue.

I no longer have my original console copies but as far as I can tell, this is a fine PC port. The cutscenes, however, get all screwy if your monitor goes beyond 60 fps. You need to go into NVIDIA control panel and manually set the game to 60 fps if you want the cutscenes to work at proper speed. I didn't test the gameplay at beyond 60 fps so no comment on that. If you're actually wanting a review of the game head to youtube, there are some solid reviews on SA1 and 2 there if you haven't played them before. But yeah, perfectly playable port on modern hardware.
