* SequelInAnotherMedium: Or prequel, in this case, since both this game and [[VideoGame/AssaultOnDarkAthena its sequel]] take place before the events of ''Film/PitchBlack''.

* CatharsisFactor: After seeing [[TheBully Abbott]] being an asshole and treating prisoners like crap, getting to shoot him when you encounter him in his apartment is pretty fulfilling. He does survive, unfortuanately. However you get to fight with him later on in Tower 17, which is also quite satisfying.

** Heck, a brief moment right before falling into said Pit, when a guard fires upon Riddick with a shotgun and narrowly misses him, he suddenly turns into an audibly ''seething'' and instinctual rage that comes just short of screaming before he tackles and [[NotTheFallThatKillsYou splatters the guy from the drop.]] Even the cool one-liner doesn't detract from seeing Riddick briefly flip the hell out.

* SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames: ''Butcher Bay'' is in fact regarded [[SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames as one of the finest games to come up at the time]] and many went as far as saying that it was better than the movie it was supposed to tie in. ''Dark Athena'', while not as great, isn't half bad either. [[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation Yahtzee himself]] has stated he likes ''Butcher Bay.''

* SpiritualSuccessor: This game can be considered one to other first-person stealth games, such as VideoGame/{{Thief}} and VideoGame/DeusEx, since those two games also involve sneaking in the shadows to get around enemies, as well as picking up dead bodies and hiding them. In fact, the conversation system in ''Butcher Bay'' appears to be heavily inspired by the conversation system in Deus Ex.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: While the HD remaster of this game included in VideoGame/AssaultOnDarkAthena is mostly the same, there were a lot of minor, but at the same time, bizarre and unnecessary, changes added in that left some fans disappointed.

* GameBreaker: To compensate for the fact that you don't have any other projectile weapons, the taser gun you get for the duration of the mining area will render anything it hits incapable of movement for several seconds, ready to be boot-stomped into the afterlife. In the original 2004 release, it can even stun the exoskeleton guards for a few seconds.

This is somewhat subverted however, since the taser gun does come in handy if you need more darkness to sneak around enemies by shooting at lights.
