After being mostly disappointed with Runner 3, this return to roots was everything I wanted from the Bit.Trip Runner franchise.

Even though it is described as a remake of the original, it feels to me a bit more than that. They incorporated some concepts that were cut and basically created brand new levels for the game, it feels pretty new even if the visuals are mostly a reimagination of the setting.

The original levels are still recreated as bonus levels, and there are some more original levels based on other games of the Bit.Trip series. There is also a level creator but I haven't explored that side too much, I'm certain there will be great and then not so great levels.

I didn't expect much, but I ended up loving it. It feels like the sequel I wanted after 2, even if it is not all brand new and shiny.
