I'm in the credits of this game for naming one of the trophies, so that's nice. Unfortunately, New 'n' Tasty misses the mark in terms of visual presentation, with so much blooming neon lights that it ruins the dark, dank factory atmosphere of the original. Beyond that gripe, what's on offer here is a near 1:1 retelling of Abe's Oddysee, with only a few very small deviations to be found within the cutscenes and no major gameplay changes beyond a significantly increased number of Mudokons to rescue and some small camera angle shifts in addition to a nifty little DLC level focusing on the escape of Alf, a mud who we didn't originally meet until Abe's Exoddus back in the day.

Bizarrely, the Bad Ending cutscene is the only thing in this game that wasn't re-recorded, meaning the original audio is there and it's pretty jarring to hear Abe's original, higher pitched voice again for no apparent reason.
