This may be the single most underrated video game of all time. In fairness, the original version (as I played it on my Xbox) was indeed a bit of a mess. I have no idea why this game was recently updated with full modern game amenities (steam cloud, achievements, controller support, workshop, etc) but it's one of the happiest gaming surprises I've ever experienced. Playing through this game again - this time with the restored content mod - was an awesome opportunity I never thought I would have.

If the philosophy of Star Wars has ever interested you in a deeper way, this game was written for you. The way the story deconstructs the Force - what it means to be a Jedi, a Sith, what generalizations those titles reflect, and what meaning they contain is infinitely fascinating, and I find myself reflecting on the scenarios and characters introduced in this game more so than any other Star Wars property (and most science fiction in general).

If you want to unravel the true mysteries of the Force - or just want to find out what happens after the first KotOR - this game is definitely worth your time.
