Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
80 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While this change certainly looks far prettier in my opinion, and gives the graphics a kind of depth missing from the original, it might not sit that well with the cult following.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Unfortunately, while the narrative structure and core premise remain engaging, the final execution leaves much to be desired.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Controller support with aim assist for television players is thankfully included and you now receive an on screen visual indicator informing you of the direction enemy fire is coming from and objectives.
