Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
87 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
They've added the ability to disable enemy AI at will, as well, which allows for easy traversal of the maps for resource hunting and fine-tuned leveling, which can be much appreciated if you understand the mechanics well enough.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
62 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The original soundtrack was a masterpiece and arranged soundtrack is just as good.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The main change is the redone HD graphics, which are noticeably crisper and look great with the artstyle on my 4K monitor.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
And it even has decent 2-player co-op, albeit asymmetric play (1p is the Hero, 2p is the Sidekick).
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Brief details on the port: The game looks amazing in widescreen, the AI upscaling is not perfect but it's the best solution in 2021, the music sounds great (I prefer the original arrangements generally, but you can choose), controller support is excellent, achievements cover the range of things you want them to.
