Enclave HD

Enclave is a quirky game that has some moments and I enjoyed revisiting it. I love this era where any game can come back and it is great for nostalgia. If you don’t have any fond memories of this game you might want to steer clear. This is not going to impress anyone in today’s world, but for those looking for a trip down memory lane of this obscure title, this version achieves what it set out to do.

In the long-forgotten year 2002, a well put together fantasy adventure Enclave introduced a few inspiring ideas and received a general appraise. The HD port for modern consoles is desperately trying to reignite this flame of the past in the new generation of gamers, but hopelessly fails to impress due to the lack of any meaningful improvements to the original game'

Enclave HD provides quite a bit to do across its two campaigns but as an HD re-release it sadly disappoints. The visuals didn’t get enough of a touchup and the gameplay and mission design very much show their age.

As you can see, Enclave HD presents a rapid succession of highs and lows so at the end of the day, it's quite a middling affair.

I was ecstatic to see Enclave HD coming back. I have such fond memories of playing it twenty years ago, and I knew I was going into it with rose-tinted glasses; the characters, the levels, the gear, everything. We didn’t need Enclave HD to be a full-blown remaster, but with a little more love it could be something truly great. An homage to classic fantasy and adventure games. I enjoyed my time playing Enclave only because I already knew the game. I don’t feel like enough improvements have been made to hold a modern audience, regardless of how fun it used to be.
