Even if they’ve changed the gameplay and made it modern the reviewers would give it bad reviews because it wouldn’t be loyal to the first game. Just play the game and that is all.
You know, I prefer the look and feel of the original game. It had a very distinct and purposeful art style. I was there and finished it back in the 90's. The remake looks like some cheap mobile game. Unremarkable for this day and age. Maybe this was a poor choice for a remake?
I played the demo and it was a mediocore game slightly prettied up, so these scores don‘t surprise me. CTR was a fantastic game then already so it would be as a remake as well, but Medievil wasn‘t that great back to begin with.
"The remake of MediEvil for PS4 can be defined as a faithful reconstruction work at all levels, from the gameplay to the audiovisual section. As such, it is a game that will be little accessible in the current era, but that you will find the pleasure of the purists, nostalgic and more faithful followers. Graphically it is like seeing the original with new lenses, while in music it has been completely reformed. A good job by Other Ocean, which meets its goal: to resurrect a PlayStation classic. "
