its waaayyy easier, and you get to keep the weapons and equipement you get, even if you die.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
134 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Moving around feels fluid, and you are going to be doing plenty of full-area exploration in order to unlock all of the small doors/obstacles that prevent progress.

Though the ost is decent, the only stand-out tracks to me are the credits song, and the after any boss fight song.

Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Silky smooth controls, beautiful pixel art, widely varied enemies and environments, nice sound track, approachable difficulty, heaps of character customization allowing for varied play styles.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The ranged weapon auto-aims when you are close to an enemy, and for controller-players, this is a nice feature for some more annoying enemies.
