Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Rather than rebuilding the experience from the ground up, this remaster focuses on preserving the original game's mechanics, story, and challenge while introducing visual enhancements, remastered audio, controller compatibility, improved interface elements, bug fixes, and numerous quality-of-life improvements.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
However, as this game has been remastered, I do feel that it is fair to hold some aspects of the game to modern standards, in particular: the graphics, sound, UI and mechanics.
