This was a fun nostalgic game for someone who played the original back on the PS2. I enjoyed the aesthetics and the art style. Collecting and using all the weapons was quite enjoyable plus PK throwing people into space never got old.

That said, this was one of the few games where I really noticed pop-in. I normally don't see pop-in but playing on PS5 it was super distracting.

Also, for me, the side missions became pretty repetitive pretty quickly so grinding out the Platinum trophy proved to be a slog.
