This might actually be one of the best video games of all time, I started playing the remake a few months ago and i fell in love with it even if there was some nitpicks i had about it like for example it's linearity but finishing the game made me more excited to play Rebirth. Once i finished the first chapter I immediately knew that this game is gonna be something truly special, This game being open world brings this game so much life and replay value especially with the many improvements from the combat and huge amount of minigames, The story is not only phenomenal but the character interactions and cutscenes makes this game even better and I had a smile on my face seeing the dynamics between the characters. The soundtrack is just as good as remake's and it might even be up there with Sonic music as the best video game soundtracks of all time and once this game finished I wished it never ended and overall left me wanting more and this is 100% my game of the year and I don't see any other game ever toping this magnum opus of a video game.
