The puzzles were mostly non-existent, and those that did exist were much easier to solve than just about anything from the main game. I guess I picked up a thing or two from the original play-through, but I'm not exactly Rambo here. I found the encounters a little easier this time around, and the enemy placement wasn't quite as surprising. You also encounter a bunch of opponents from the main game, including a s# ton of Skaarj. And they're really hard to hit at close range because they basically just hug your feet constantly. They basically made a faster and more maneuverable version of the spiders with more hitpoints - and made them look like Jurassic Park dropouts. The new enemies are largely nothing to write home about. Also, if their weapons are SO powerful, why did they need me at all for this mission? What's the deal with those anyway? It almost feels like the bullets are homing in. The only REALLY useful weapon is the combat rifle, which deals out massive amounts of DPS - as you get to find out first hand when battling the human troopers half way through. To be honest I didn't see much that was unique about the new weapons, they basically are just variations of the original ones. You are introduced to a couple of new enemies and new weapons in this expansion. I didn't find myself getting lost constantly like with the main game, so I can surmise that the flow of the levels is better. The one thing I will say however is the level design seems somewhat improved.

The environments are mostly just recycled game assets and textures from the main game.

Overall, I would say Return to Na Pal is basically 'more of the same' and doesn't really offer anything new. I suppose it could be an issue with Wine? I tried to find a work around for this but haven't had any luck. For some reason the audio logs do not work properly on my game - some of them play, but a lot of them didn't. Return to Na Pali is the official expansion to Unreal released in 1999 and is a direct continuation of the 'story' from the original game. This is a full, blind play-through of Return to Na Pali on Linux Wine.
