Roger from Codec Moments writes: "In a game market flooded with HD re-releases of games that came out sometimes less than 1 year prior, it is surprising when we see a game as old as Duke Nukem 3D see a return to consoles, albeit last gen consoles. Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition is a port of the game that was brought to PC in 2013 by Devolver Digital and is visually impressive considering its age. Originally released in 1996, Duke Nukem 3D is chock full of irreverent, tongue in cheek humor that lets gamers indulge their inner “Duke” and play as a character that self describes himself as “The King” and “All that is a man”. The types of phrases that Duke constantly spits out as he blows away pig cops or tips exotic dancers are frequent and highlight both the type of egocentric character Duke really is, and that it’s not something that games can really get away with these days."
Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition modernised the Duke Nukem 3D presentation a decade ago, and the Duke has never been better.
