While its nice to have an engine update and most of the core plot is enjoyable enough to go through, this always has the issue that its a prequel to a set of pre-determined events which has the unfortunate effect of dampening some of the more emotional twists and turns. Its still a nice cap on the first game as a whole, especially with the bonus chapter helping to solve some of the ending concerns from the original but the overall game still comes off as a little superfluous at times.
