It was a high quality remaster, very well done. For that, I appreciate it. It did the original great justice.
Unfortunately, the whole experience was ruined by adding in FORCED exp share. The original game was not balanced for it, they did not rebalance the game for it. Got bored and dropped after unavoidably outleveling everything by 12+, turning the game into an unchallenging pinata hitting simulator.
Did they even gameplay test this?? It just isn't fun.
