I think his complaints on the frame rates and other visual issues are kind of overreactions, but I also know how obsessive Joe is on such seemingly-minor things as a whole. I'm also playing it on the PS5 and not the Switch, so I don't know, maybe it does run like a dog's breakfast on that? I think the best way to sum the game is that it initially leaves a tepid or lukewarm impression, on visuals for sure, but the little changes and control additions somewhat mitigate things and add some flavour and depth to the game overall. I'm midway into Bloodpool's sim act and I'm honestly forgetting at times that I'm playing a remake, since my muscle memory is returning for some of the parts of the game. It's like Joe said, it gets better as you play.
I also cannot stress enough how good the music is. It was amazing in it's original form, but the new arrangements elevate it even further now. Yeah, it's a bit more expensive than I'd like, but I want to make a point to SE that people still give a damn about this game and series, so I bought it at full price. This game literally came out of nowhere for me, and it's been a very pleasant surprise.
Actraiser 2 remake with sim elements put in plz. Also I'd take remakes like this of Soul Blazer, Illusion Of Gaia and Terranigma. I miss Quintet's style of games.
