  • graphics
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received a mixed response, with many praising the significant visual improvements and updated graphical options that enhance the overall experience. However, some users noted inconsistencies in quality, with certain textures and animations appearing outdated or janky, leading to a clash with the revamped art style. Overall, while the remaster retains the original feel, it also introduces notable enhancements that could benefit from further refinement.

    • “Incredible remaster, plays great with a controller and so far, it feels like I'm playing the original with revamped UI/graphics.”
    • “The visuals have been drastically improved and look fantastic.”
    • “There are a lot of new details in the environment, and graphics.”
    • “The only issues I see are graphical ones, and those can be improved upon in the future (for example, the animations seem very janky).”
    • “Some textures and models feel like they have been updated and given a refresh while others still look low poly and low res, which causes severe clashing with the art style.”
    • “I do like some of the quality of life things that were added, but the bugs and visuals really need to be addressed.”
  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players noting the absence of original mechanics and a lack of coherence in the new art style. While the core gameplay remains familiar and solid for fans, the removal of certain features, like accessible inventory screens while moving, and the retention of the criticized stamina mechanic, detracts from the overall experience. Despite some innovations, significant drawbacks have been highlighted, impacting the overall enjoyment of the game.

    • “The core gameplay is solid and will be very familiar to fans of the old games.”
    • “The only upside to this is all of the expansions are in one place and all of the mechanics have been spread across the games.”
    • “With this in mind, I feel the mechanics of how the gameplay loop operates are very important, and while there are innovations to it, there are also some big drawbacks that I have noticed so far.”
    • “Many mechanics aren't present from the original game, and the new art on old polygons looks terrible. It's not all bad, but it's very incoherent.”
    • “Fair warning: the mechanics of having your inventory screens available while moving are gone.”
    • “It loses a point for two main reasons: firstly, they kept the stamina mechanic, which I always felt was just pointless and unnecessary.”
  • story
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game features quest givers who provide new quests for previously explored areas, which some players find repetitive. Additionally, there are concerns about the balance of quest rewards and boss drops, with instances of receiving items that are disproportionately high in requirements for early-game players.

    • “Quest givers are giving new quests for already explored floors.”
    • “The quest rewards and boss drops do not feel balanced; I received boots that required over 100 strength to wear from a boss drop on level 1.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, particularly when using a controller, as combat can feel frustrating due to enemy behavior. Some suggest that using a trackpad on a Steam Deck may improve the experience, but overall, there is a desire for updates to address these issues.

    • “I find this tedious, so I wouldn't do it myself. It is probably better to use the right trackpad as a mouse on a Steam Deck (it does run on Steam Deck well).”
    • “I feel like some things need to be worked out, such as combat being tedious on controller due to the way that enemies dance just outside your reach while still being able to hit you. But this is the modern age, and I hope to see some small updates.”

    The optimization in this version is significantly enhanced compared to previous re-releases, with improved performance and higher resolution support that make the gameplay feel fresh and refined. Users have noted that everything runs smoothly, contributing to an overall superior experience.

    • “Everything feels new and improved, especially the performance, since the original games.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers appreciate the nostalgic use of original audio, including music, narration, and sound effects, noting that the music remains faithful to the originals while the improved graphics enhance the overall experience.

    • “I'm a big fan of the original audio being used, from the narrator to the music to foley and other sound effects.”
