I have to say that this game holds up in a lot of ways in the 20 years since I first downloaded the demo along with gamespy.

The moment to moment texture and flavor of each fight runs good.

There are critiques to be made about various weapons falling off in the late game, and the final mission really fails to build upon the game's strengths, but.....Renegade as a whole has a worldspace sense that pulls you in and makes you want to hit every objective and every corner.

I'm left wanting more.

Additionally, the writing and humor from something in the early 2000s era actually holds up and doesn't come off as cringe. Even when Havok is boasting, you're still on board for it.

All together, a fine example of game design and world building missing in todays world.
