Graphics are nice enough and the late game surfing sections feel faster to travel through than they did in the originals. Delta episode has sloppy writing, but overall the main story isn't horrible. The game throwing Latios/Latias at you before the 6th badge and letting you fly everywhere is awkward as hell for pacing, and the legendary hunting late and post game felt really weird. It could have been a lot better as a remake, a far cry from how good the gen 1 and 2 remakes were, but passable at least on content.
