I played that game when it came out and loved it, naturally - it was pretty revolutionary when it was released, 3d graphics and all.

Later on (say 15 years ago) I got nostalgic and tried to play it again, but couldn’t get over the weird controls and camera angles and deemed it unplayable.

Funny enough, I remembered it a week before Christmas and re-played it in DOSBox. To my surprise, I actually made fast progress and didn’t even die in any fight until midway into the game. I had a totally different experience in terms of difficulty, clunkiness etc. and really enjoyed it.
