Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The new "Monster World IV"-style graphics are definitely really nice, but as much as I hate to say it, it makes the game feel a little more... janky?

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
I appreciate that, while the original game was coded in XNA, this version of the game did not actually demand an Xbox 360 controller.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Not an annoying overly 'pop' sounding 8-bit track, but they music actually fits very well.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
Crescent Isle feels more natural in it's difficulty and more like something that's made to be casually enjoyed.
