Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is a game about overcoming one's past, the importance of oneself, what constitutes the self and identity; all inside a classic Zero story involving rituals and traditions.

While not one of the most accomplished remasters out there (especially for the price) it still brings new life to this lovely game, thankfully the days of meddling with the old fan patch and its questionable translation are now behind us.
The new models look amazing although its a shame the same amount of care wasn't put into all of them.
The new blueish colour hue surrounding its environments feels a lot more consistent with the theme of the moon and probably for the first time in my life playing games I've thoroughly enjoyed how they applied a granular filter of sorts so that it wouldn't lose its original vibe.

Words alone can't really describe how happy I am that this game is finally free from the curse that is the Wii.
Hopefully if this does well we get a new entry in the series, fingers crossed its more akin to 2 and 4 rather than the disaster that was 5.

Is this a game I'd recommend to anyone?
No, this is a game for Zero fans first and foremost and people that love good old 2000s J-horror and the inherent clunkiness that comes with most of them.
