I grew up playing Unreal. It was my first PC game. I am a huge fan of the franchise and I have played every game they released. However, Unreal Championship 2 was an xbox exclusive. Living in India, it was not possible for me to buy an xbox in the early 2000s as they didn't sell it here. Also I was still in school. Fast forward to 2020, I'm finally able to afford myself an Xbox Series S and Unreal Championship 2 was the first game I purchased on it.
I cannot explain the overwhelming nostalgia I'm feeling. The game plays great, Epic did a good job of a making an arena shooter for a console. Everything is simplified and it's fun. Online doesn't work as expected. I might be the only person on Earth who's playing this right now. I think it's a classic and enjoyable even in 2020.
