Critic Reviews


PC Gamer - Robert Jones - 78 / 100

A great remaster of a beloved, if now very old school, FPS that is handled with great care and attention.

Rock, Paper, Shotgun - Unscored

A handsome remaster of an already modern-feeling Star Wars FPS, but even Nightdive's welcome updates can't disguise some of its older, more obtuse edges.

TechRaptor - Austin Suther - 9.5 / 10

Nightdive has put considerable effort into making Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster a smooth and playable experience. With enhanced visuals and more, Dark Forces' level design and gunplay from 1995 holds up surprisingly well.

WayTooManyGames - Leonardo Faria - 8 / 10

The Force is strong with Nightdive. They took an old, but iconic Star Wars shooter, adapted it to their magnificent engine, remade its assets, tinkered with the presentation and gameplay, and delivered the ultimate Dark Forces experience. A game once touted to be borderline forgotten is now available on modern platforms in way that makes its original build feel like crap in comparison.

XboxEra - Jesse Norris - 6.5 / 10

Star Wars: Dark Forces Remastered is a remaster done right. Its main issue is the game it is remastering doesn’t hold up to modern titles well enough. If you have that itch to dive back in and the $30 price isn’t too much then it is well worth the price. If you don’t have those feelings though, it’s tough to recommend.

A tad expensive at £25 will pick up £15, wonder if dark forces 2 will get a remaster
