The vibrant world of Hillys, with its distinctive characters and varied environments, now benefits from updated textures, refined lighting effects, and sharper models, all of which give the game a fresh and lively appearance without losing the charm of the original art direction.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
64 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

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

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.
17 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.
