Everything from the platforming to the bosses strikes a nice comfortable difficulty, nothing requires strict timing, and a lot of platforming puzzles you can cheese before you get the tools they were clearly designed for.

The 2D Metroidvania gameplay remains intact, though the graphics look a bit better this time around.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The music is also very good, I've got 4 tracks in my playlist, both ambient and fight OST are worth listening even outside of the game.
