The setting, soundtrack and weapon designs are the highlights of the game. The remaster itself is also of good quality. I never had any performance or stability issues.
Outdated level design and clunky platforming hold this game back. It's one of those key hunting games, but the amount of backtracking is insane. If you run out of bombs, you run the risk of soft-locking your progress, as they're needed to blow up certain walls (which can be hard to spot at times). You do get pretty powerful at the end, but it only lasts for a couple of levels.
I'd only recommend this game to those who want to relive the nostalgia of the original release. As for everyone else; there are better games to play, even from that era.
