A very special and unique videogame experience.
One of the most depressing, complex, and deep stories I've had the pleasure of playing through, I love the subtlety, the symbolisms, the foreshadowing and relatable characters. It's a very well written game, it's aware of the themes it touches, and it gets even better when you replay the game to get the full story.
The gameplay is good, the abilities are fun to use, and the combos are satisfying, however, you unlock most things pretty early in the game, so it can get repetive after a while.
The new rearranged music is incredible, better than the original, and dare I say one of my favorite videogame soundtracks ever, absolutely beautiful.
If there is one thing that bothered me personally, is the amount of backtracking you have to do in the main story. Running back and forth, visiting the same areas multiple times, sometimes for unnecessary reasons, can get tiresome.
Overall this is an outstanding Remake, and easily the best way to experience this game.
It has few outdated elements like the fact that you need to collect all the weapons in the game in order to get the true ending which can be very exhausting, or the generic side quests, but it's still a phenomenal experience, and the new additional story related content is worth checking out.
Just for the story alone, it's worth playing through, at least twice, trust me.
Final Rating: "Amazing" ~ 9/10.
