Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
The addition of a map is also a huge improvement as well, and the quest markers and other icons on the map makes it much easier to find things, and the addition of multiplayer improves this game dramatically as well, as it is way more fun to play with friends (although there is a major caveat that I'll discuss in a moment).

The pixel art style is charming, the soundtrack fits the atmosphere perfectly, and the variety of prisons keeps the gameplay fresh.
