DISCLAIMER: This game was provided to me for free as part of a PCGamingWiki assignment.
Don't let the "Special Edition" part of the title fool you - this is very much a minimal viable product (e.g. "how little can we provide while still ensuring people will buy it") with extra steps, namely a mini-documentary on the original game's creation and high-res product assets, concept art, and video. The Carbon Engine isn't doing anything fancy here - it's just a frontend for those extra steps as well as the PCSX PS1 emulator for the game itself, with custom plugins for injecting new assets into the game.

The "remastered" soundtrack, a mix of actually-remastered versions of the original music and poorly done remixes, is awkwardly faded into the game - which is made all the more blatant when you switch to using the original soundtrack and it syncs up perfectly with the game. And, as others have stated, the remastered soundtrack will override the audio of specific cutscenes.

Furthermore, even though the game supports using DualShock 4 and DualSense controllers, both of which use the same button symbols as the PS1's OG DualShock and digital controllers and, thus, could use the original game's PlayStation button prompts, the game is now hardcoded to exclusively use Xbox button prompts. (To be fair, it seems the Carbon Engine only supports Xbox controller prompts, so they probably just decided to keep it consistent.)

As as for the game emulation itself? It's good enough. It's not accurate, and it can slow down in places the original game wouldn't, but it's not unplayable. Yes, it does have save states and rewinding, and yes it does have options for how the game outputs, but the first two are common in modern emulation releases like this, and the output changes are pointless as the game was never meant to be displayed in any aspect ratio other than 4:3, and even the downsampling mode, which very nicely smooths out the game's visuals, doesn't use 4:3 - it uses the unmodified output from the emulated PS1, meaning shapes that shouldn't be stretched are. Plus, those game output options are confusing themselves - the "fullscreen" mode in-game (not to be confused with the completely different "fullscreen" setting in the Carbon Engine's main menu) doesn't stretch the output to the entire screen, that'd be the "16:9" mode.

Tomba - heck, any commercially-released emulated game - deserves better than the barebones product Limited Run Games has provided here.

A goofy choose-your-own-adventure game staring the titular Space Bear. It's very fun and, depending on your sense of humor, genuinely hilarious. And the best part? The dev could've put a price tag on this - it's totally deserving of one - but made it free instead.

You are a budding cryptozoologist in a small Polish hamlet, thanks to loyally listening to the local cryptozoology station, Krypto FM. With the addition of an official web forum, other fellow listeners can come in and discuss the supernatural and make requests. At it happens, your little hamlet is home to some big things, both mundane and supernatural. And most importantly - you have both a camera and the will to venture into the unknown.

What will you find out there? The night is long, your batteries won't last forever, and your camera's SD card can get corrupted from things like, oh, power outages....

Recommend it as, if you can stomach the dread horror the game builds so well, you'll find a very different kind of horror game.

Stuck in a raging blizzard with a broken arm. Again. Nothing to do but search through the inexplicably-abandoned area and find a way to reach help. This is a time before smartphones, let alone the average person having a cellphone/dumbphone.

Very fun, Flash-era-style horror point-and-click with minimal jumpscares.

A wonderfully-surreal experience, you play as Beth, a woman living in a world where people have simply begun disappearing. You chance upon a wounded woman and her eccentric companions - and what you do from there will determine your fate and theirs. You can bring happiness to someone...but only one. Who will you choose?

Garten of Banban if the devs actually cared about the product they were making from day 1.

Imagine if Agent 47 was a werewolf with a craving for human flesh, but he had an actual job as a janitor. Combine it with excellent stealth gameplay, and that's The WereCleaner in a wonderful, glorious nutshell.

A fun, challenging, but fair puzzler, Machinika: Museum tasks you with figuring out how to operate various alien devices for the sake of preservation. From anti-grav units to e-paper scrolls to the very boxes used to secure them, there's a lot to observe, tinker with, and solve.

Welcome aboard the Zhukov Line, comrade. Your job is simple: keep the pipes welded shut, the micro-reactor fueled, and the cargo sedated. Those banging sounds? Those are the sounds of progress being lost. Don't let them get closer. And yes, that's you at the end of the train.

Serve for 3 days or for as long as progress is maintained, whichever comes first. Either way, good luck, comrade....

Fine little game! Short, sweet, to the point, and definitely screams for an expansion of the concept.

You can't stop the trolley problem, but you can delay its inevitable conclusion. Get through 20 increasingly-complicated ways of delaymas in this Baba Is You-styled puzzler.
