What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
🟩The graphics have been expertly updated to provide that original experience in higher quality across all avenues of its design.
With modern controls, they feel a little too easy and could’ve used some extra challenge to match today’s gameplay expectations.
The jungles, the characters, the atmosphere—it all looks amazing.
The audio is much the same, and this actually impressed me the most I think, as Konami made specific effort in making the audio quality as high as they could, even by getting the original voice actors back to redo and complete new lines for this game.
And restored almost all the content found in the original PS2 subsistence release, Snake V Monkey, Guy savage with this minigame being a remake of the original made by platinum games the same people that made Bayonetta and even added a neat small side 12 player multiplayer mode in the form of foxhunt...if you can get people to play with you on that...
You are getting one of the best narratives in gaming history, now looking better than ever, with the downsides (only at the time of this review i hope) of a mediocre performance without FSR/DLSS and a weird PPT like controller scheme.
