YMMV / Blade Runner (1997)

• Draco in Leather Pants: Crystal Steele has a lot of defenders due to her attitude and look. This despite the fact she's a merciless murderer of Replicants. At least until she kills your dog. Bonus points that she actually does wear leather pants.
• Moral Event Horizon: Crystal and Sadik can both cross this by killing Ray's dog, Maggie.
• Narm: Clovis reciting "The Tyger" while threatening the pet store owner in the opening gives the initial impression that the writers took the "Warrior Poet" concept far too literally and ended up writing the Big Bad as a big dork.
• No Problem with Licensed Games: This is considered one of the better movie adaptations with a strong focus on characterization and world-building. The fact it incorporates elements from the original novel also lends itself a bit more credibility.
• Polished Port: Volunteers for the ScummVM open source project spent thousands of hours getting the original game to run on modern platforms. It also fixed many bugs, enabled the use of subtitles (freely available from their website), and even had a "restored content" mode adding back things that were Dummied Out or inaccessible due to bugs. This version was made available on GOG.com in 2019.
• Porting Disaster: The 2022 "Enhanced Edition" from Nightdive Studios that used code built from scratch (not based on ScummVM). It was widely panned for looking worse than the original 1997 game, using lower quality music, introducing many new bugs, and removing some international language dubs. The PC version comes bundled with the ScummVM release, at least.
• Strangled by the Red String: One of the potential endings is Ray driving out of the city with Dektora, framed as a romance similar to the ending of the movie with Deckard and Rachael. At best Ray will have had two brief conversations with her during the game before this.
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: The Replicants may be fighting for their freedom but it's hard to take their plight seriously when you find out that they killed fifty people while hijacking a sky bus.
• Values Dissonance: The Replicants' constant killing of exotic animals is meant to show the Skewed Priorities of the human detectives in finding that worse than murder. In modern times, many gamers are likely to be as outraged or at least understanding of the in-universe humans' revulsion at animal cruelty.
