As someone who bounced off of the gameplay side of the original version of this a couple of times, the Legendary Edition's quality-of-life improvements were enough to get me over that hump and finally experience this compelling story and world properly. There's still plenty that doesn't work for me, like how obviously fake a lot of dialogue "choices" are and how unacceptably bad the Mako handles. The stats/player upgrades felt pretty much entirely pointless as did the game's economy, which I pretty much never interacted with, and I never did ANY of the tedious resource-collecting stuff. I did a few of the assignments and other side content but the bulk of it didn't seem meaningful or pique my interest, so I stuck largely to the main questline and had a good time that way.
