This is less a game and more of an OOPArt.
Everything it does feels so fresh and modern that, when combined with the updated HD-2D graphics, soundtrack, and stellar voice acting by the Japanese cast, it's genuinely mind boggling to think that this is the remake of an almost 30-year-old game and not a modern effort riding the contemporary wave of subversive RPGs.
I've got my nitpicks and my nags, and I'd really rather Gori just not exist at all, but this truly is a masterpiece that is immensely worthy of anyone's time, even, if not especially, those who don't normally go in for RPGs.
