What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
- genuinely interesting story line
I love the music, story, characters, and pretty much everything, and the general flow of gameplay is fantastic.
On a more positive note, the music is great and the sound design truly iconic.
The fact that fan-made emulators like DuckStation offer widescreen hacks, sub-pixel precision to remove polygon wobble, higher internal rendering, and flawless controller handling right out of the box makes Konami's lazy official package feel even more inexcusable.
Graphics are good, controls are (for a a remastered game from the 90s) great.
The fact that the game which is currently on Version 1.5 doesn’t save your control layout in the settings is unforgivable on the Steam Deck.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
