I really want to give this 5 stars, but they patched it so you can't do the skip that lets you get overleveled in the early game, therefore you have to go through the early game as intended, meaning there's like 4+ hours of gameplay where combat is super boring because you're not at the level where you can start doing what makes this game's combat fun. But otherwise it improves on the original in basically every way, and that game itself was basically a 5 star game bogged down by little QoL flaws. It's a shame that they patched out that skip but didn't rebalance the game to let you experience the better combat mechanics quickly. I played this up to the point where I was basically done with the game and just doing challenge mode, since I didn't need to actually go beat the game since I've seen the ending of the original already. In my heart, I have completed it, but technically I haven't. Maybe one day I'll go do that so I can watch the ending in HD, who knows.
