This is one of my favorite games ever made. I do understand how people feel as this remaster does change things artistically from the original PlayStation 2 version, but I feel like the game's graphical uplift does have its own charm too.

The game is visually phenomenal and its gameplay is pretty much the same as the original, there's no changes to anything as far as I know. The story and gameplay is the exact same. I think the only changes that exist might be some trophy changes, which I wouldn't be able to tell as I never played the PS3 version.

But I love this game dearly, and the experience I had with this game was one I could really only have once. Each boss was a giant scale battle where I had to really think about what my next move would be, understanding their patterns and just the scale of everything left me in awe. Knowing this was a PlayStation 2 game made me appreciate it even more. Its story, despite being a silent one, still made me very invested.

I would recommend this game to anyone who has a PlayStation 4, just to experience this and to understand how video games can truly be art.
