Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I'm not sure on the run variety just yet, but it seems like it'll be good the more experience I have with it, and the core gameplay is just so good that I don't know if I care?
83 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Even better, the game not only has its own level editor, but it looks like it even has some level of mod support, since there's a pretty impressive one in progress that adds PS1 X and Zero as playable characters, and replaces a bunch of other sprites and sounds.

The biggest and most obvious improvement is the art style change.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The music is great (I've been looping the OST on Spotify for days now), the dynamic music during midbosses is a lovely touch, the arrangements for boss battles and victory themes are great in their own right.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Accessibility
Players who bring up Accessibility mostly praise it.
Not to mention the plethora of accessibility options, including a level maker and the ability to “de-rogue” the game if that’s not your cup of tea.
