I'm surprised how people said this remake is disappointment in comparison to the original game. It's perfectly fine and possible hot take but I'd say it's a little better than the orignal. Maybe all it's issues has been ironed out in patches I dunno. Or maybe it's because I played Xbox One version rather than the Switch version. I also didn't really notice any performance issues. The game has issues but the problems of the game are really the same problems of the original. It's a short game and the gameplay feels too vanilla in comparison to 2 and Orta. I thought graphical update looked great, while the original graphics have a retro charm to them the modern graphics is pretty nice to look at. I also noticed this remake has a couple minor changes that make it slightly less archaic. Easy mode actually lets you finish the game. In the original you can only play the first 4 levels. Each mode also gives more continues to actually finish the game the original was way more stingy with them. Aside from the game is pretty much a one to one faithful remake. And it's fun, Panzer Dragoon is fun, it also hurts my thumb but it's also pretty fun. I ended up doing like 5 playthroughs for easy, normal, and hard and 2 extra to get some missing achievements minus the 100 hour one. Anyway overall I recommend if it's on sale. It's a cool game that wont take much of your time. If you ever get the chance play 2 or Orta though those games are better.
