The graphics are noted to be improved, offering a range from low to high settings; however, the overall experience is hindered by the absence of essential mechanics, such as combat and customizable controls, which detracts from the gameplay.
“There is also no combat, you cannot adjust camera movement speed, you cannot remap any controls, and there is only one graphic setting of low to high.”
“This has better graphics, yes, but it lacks a lot of core mechanics.”
