Shatter was awesome on PS3 and it's still awesome today.
It's the best brick breaking game I've played. I love the OST and how creative the bosses get.
Sucking and blowing never felt so good

Are you ever really finished with Shatter?
I purchased Shatter: Remastered Deluxe based on some high praise from ResetEra folks, and it's pretty much exactly what I expected. This is a very glossy, hi-res, faithful remaster of the game I loved on Ps3 and about a decade later I'm finding that it just doesn't scratch the itch I once had.
It's perfectly competent and contains all the thrills I remember from the original version, but if I am going to play something like this now I will most likely opt for a mobile game, or even a mobile version of Shatter. That's not to say the high framerate and 4k visuals aren't fantastic (they are!) I just didn't get as excited by this in the way I thought I would.
If it's your first time, there's lots to love. Give it a whirl. At $10 it's a great price.

I'd been excited about Shatter Remastered Deluxe for months, but only after its release did I learn thanks to other users that it's not a remaster of the original but rather of a mobile port. Why anyone would choose to take such a circuitous path for a modern re-release of this arcade classic is quite beyond me, but the result is obvious and predictable.
I made a back-to-back comparison of the original 2010 Steam version of Shatter and this new "Remastered Deluxe" release, and it's a clear downgrade. Everything simply looks and sounds cheaper and thinner, and there's a bizarre and unforgivable choppiness to performance. I waited 12 days before testing to allow time for patches while staying inside the refund window, and it's still a dramatic disappointment.
Shatter is a wonderful game, but this is not the version of it that you should play. Buy the 2010 release on Steam for two bucks, give its .xml file a quick edit in Notepad to cover your modern resolution, and enjoy a vastly superior product to this so-called remaster.
