As the entire story is not yet compete with this remake/re-imagining it’s hard to hold it against the original which still stands as my personal favourite of all time. The game does a great job fleshing out more of the world and further developing the characters. Most of the voice acting is on point. Combat is brilliantly modernised and the game just looks incredible. The nostalgia is there, and it successfully captures the soul of the original thus far. It feels fresh with some new additions to the story so it doesn’t feel as if you’re just retreading an enhanced copy of the original (which I would’ve been more than okay with as well). Time will tell if this approach tracks well with the next few instalments. I just hope that the scale will match the original and that corners aren’t cut moving forward.
