The original Dark Forces might be our Best Star Wars Game Ever, but its sequel is also great. It is, however, a little dated in 2021, so game developer and artist Acke Hallgren decided to see what it could look like with a modern coat of paint.

So here’s the game’s opening level remade in Unreal Engine 4. It’s not playable as a shooter, but you can download it and walk around it yourself if you’d like.

“The original Dark Forces might be our Best Star Wars Game Ever”
meh, I’d personally pick outcast or academy to play over dark forces if we are talking about that particular series of games. that might change if they remake it and update it’s gameplay to more recent standards. outcast and jedi academy are dated, dark forces is an absolute fossil of a game imo. if we are talking best star wars game ever released though, the kotor games are hands down better.
for what its worth I REALLY like the new coat of paint whoever did the unreal engine work gave it. I just cant stomach playing a game that old. Not because of graphics, but because the gameplay just feels so janky and unpleasant by today’s standards.
