The new textures are great and they make playing through a 2003 game in 2024 a much more palatable experience.
Story

71 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's still a great adventure with a magical atmosphere, exciting story, memorable characters, and great music.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
66 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay elements are really well balanced, there are some fun side activities and the game is finished before you'll get the chance to grow tired of them (10-12 hours for one playthrough).
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The mix of exploration, puzzle-solving, stealth, and combat remains engaging, supported by a narrative that combines heartfelt character development with sharp social commentary.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Music and sound design in general are superb, I even listen to the music outside of the game from time to time.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Arguably the most important thing this remaster does, though, is make the game playable with controller on PC in a very easy way.
