I did play a lot of that Tekwar demo 🙂
I think the game needs to be put back in context. Somehow, I remember this demo to be extremely impressive. Wasn’t this before Duke Nukem 3D ? A sprawling city you could explore half-freely. For some reason, I mostly remember being able to take the subway.
I was very mad when Cyberpunk 2077 didn’t have a subway (now it has), I was very happy to see Deus Ex Mankind Divided had a subway.
I’m sure all these feelings root down to Tekwar.
Nowaydays ? After seeing Civiie’s video ? Well, I’m not sure it’d be fun to play but it’s clearly a game that could be a good conversation between podcasters 🙂
