I played some PS1 games when I was little but I never tried Shadow Man until today! I was about to try the OG version until I found out about the Remastered and I'm so thankful that it exists!

I've seen footage of the original version on the web and the new lighting in the remaster makes it look so much more atmospheric paired with the excellent OST of the game!

I was expecting the gameplay to be kind of meh but it turned out to be quite fun! The camera works surprisingly well too, and the fact we can get it closer/further away from Shadow Man is definitely a good addition! Speaking of additions, I've read that some cut content was restored so I'm also thankful for that!

I've really had a lot of fun playing this game! The updated PS1 graphics just make it so much scarier! The OST is excellent too.

Finding every cadeaux (the last one is ALWAYS THE HARDEST ONE TO FIND!), unlocking new abilities to reach new areas to get the remaining dark souls! I had a blast!

My only big complaint about the game would be the lack of map for each level. The levels really are huge, and despite having played for more than 20 hours, I still got lost A LOT!

I played the original on the N64 many moons ago. Coming off of that version it's an incredible step up, with the cut content and some quality of life features such as teleport spots listing what you're missing and so forth.

Admittedly, beyond that it offers very little in the way of hand holding and can be frustrating if you're missing something and have no idea where to grab it. Even with all that in mind, it's well worth a play. There isn't much like it out there. Downright weird setting, but it's my kinda schlock.
