I want to give this a thumbs up as Populous was a ground-breaking game that has earned its place in gaming history. It was also one of my personal favourites on the SNES system. Unfortunately though, it seems that little to no effort was made to ensure this version would be an enjoyable experience for a modern day audience. I was particularly disappointed with the soundtrack. The original SNES soundtrack had a racing heartbeat with mystical sound effects that made for an unforgettable gaming experience but this uses a different version. I would only recommend this game to die-hard retro fans.

If, like me, you played this on the Amiga and your fond memories of this game heavily revolve around the music and sound effects (heartbeat, wind, choir-like sounds) please be aware, they are not in this version of the game. It is instead some poppy, upbeat keyboard music; I thought something was wrong with my computer and the sound was coming from elsewhere! The nostalgia I was hoping for just isn't there and it is disappointing. Other than that, this is the game as I remember it, and I am glad I can play it (on mute, haha) - but very much hope the Amiga music can be added.
