So far I finished Chapter one and it's as good as I remember from the original. Although somewhat Slower, It doesn't really feel like a slog. From what I played, this game definitely takes some good elements for The Origami King such as the tone of the music, a place to practice your attacks which makes it a lot more approachable for newer players and help veterans hone their skills and the paper aesthetic since...you know. So far I'm liking what I'm playing, and hoping the rest continues to be as good,if not better than the original.
