Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
127 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story/world building has been significantly expanded and tweaked, which while a bit jarring at first, was necessary in hindsight to meet the expectations of modern gaming.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
98 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has a vibrant art style and upbeat soundtrack, and mostly a rich, populated world.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

In addition, the original's clunky combat system has also been overhauled, with a new soft-lock(?) targeting system for your magic ball weapon, and new to the game, a dodge mechanic - so fighting enemies, while sometimes challenging, definitely doesn't feel unfair by design now.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Kudos also to Philippe Vachey and David Gasman, who after 27 years, were happy to return to re-score the soundtrack, and voice the protagonist, respectively - this definitely adds further authenticity to the project!
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I had lots of fun playing this game on Steam Deck and despite the system warning, it plays extremely well.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The controls are easier (but I played on the controller), the maps are not divided in blocks.
