I haven't played the original yet so this is kind of a strange experience. I feel like I'm playing something incredible and memorable, but mutated by current gen homogenized game design and Sony Stink. It's great fun but I can't help but feel like it exists because someone decided every game ever needs to be a PlayStation Game™ just like God Wars™ and Mushroom Dad™. Remember when games felt different from each other? That was a time.
