Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The game's unique design with its cinematic camera angles make it feel like you're playing one big cutscene, and the way the characters move is inexplicably very satisfying to me for some reason.
107 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Key items are not something you just keep on you, and they're vital for progression.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Yes, they improved the graphics (pre-rendered backgrounds), character models, voice acting, etc just like a remaster does.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
Another issue I have with the game is the controls, however I did play this game with a keyboard and mouse while it is recommended to be played with a controller, so take these complaints with a grain of salt.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
The ability to play this up to 120 FPS also makes it a smooth and satisfying experience, and door-skip mods make it less annoying to play on PC.
