What an absolute journey. I played the remastered version about 10 years ago and I am so happy to have played through the remake. If you were debating if it's worth it - I'd say give the game a shot, especially if it's on sale. The story of this game deserves all the praise it's been giving and I'll happily come back to experience this every several years. The only knock I'll give it is that I found the traversal to be a bit boring, which I didn't experience as much the first time I played it.
