the truth of the matter is that everything worth saying about this game has already been said, and said well. the original was a wonderful and creative game with a number of notable flaws keeping it back from being perfect, and this remake polishes up what made it wonderful and circumvents what made it annoying. it's really a perfect remake in my eyes.

(also wanted to make an obligatory mention of transgender vivian being re-canonized! as someone who grew up loving her character, it means a lot to see <3)
