The storyline in Gold Classic gains tremendous depth with the inclusion of Night of the Raven, seamlessly integrating the pirate-infested region of Jharkendar into the main plot and enhancing the lore with a darker, more ancient dimension.

28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The already masterful visual style achieved by Piranha Bytes is amplified with the addition of DX11 alongside improved lighting and weather effects, retextured models, modern resolutions, unlocked FPS and many more.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty spike is notable, and it brings with it a reworked skill system with tighter experience point management.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But again, due to nostalgia and the fact that the soundtrack, ambient effects, character voices, and monster sounds are iconic to me, I also give this aspect 2 points.
