they really had huge balls to remake a game this faithfully (including keeping all the annoying bullshit of the original) and then push it out as a ps5 release title.

i had 3 hard walls with this one
the runback to tower knight which made me shelf this for 3 years
flamelurker (dude takes nooooo damage at all without magic)
maneaters. do i gotta say anything else.

the faithfulness of the remake at least makes you appreciate how far the series has come and while its not as fun as later titles its still very satisfying.

also one of the most visually beautiful games ive ever played and runs fantastic on ps5 at 60fps

3/5 for the actual game experience, 5/5 for the quality of the remake and the visuals
