One of my favorite games ever. It's a nearly-perfect remake of the PS2 version, adding quality of life that was very sorely needed, as well as new backgrounds for levels, more (enchanting) music, and completely revamped mechanics. The unique athmosphere of the original game now shines brighter with these new additions.
As for the negatives, I wish some of the bosses didn't repeat that much. While the devs improved the boss variety with new minibosses, having to fight the same few story bosses 4 or 5 times really hurts.
Also, a boss rush mode can be unlocked after finishing the game, but I wish it had been an extra biome to explore instead (either the ones that each of the characters don't explore, or an entirely new one).
With just slightly more assets (like 2 extra main bosses and maybe an extra world to explore), it would be a perfect game by my book.
Overall, 9.5/10 game. Play it till the end, the last segment of the story is worth it!
