I absolutely loved playing through this, I just wished it was compatible with an xbox series x controller. If you're a gamepad player, that's something to keep in mind, since I could feel my hands starting to hurt with the precise platform jumping that this game demands. The game runs beautifully though, it's really fun to play, though I had a bug where the music cut out after a bit, it usually comes back when you walk to the next area. Still a really fun experience!

This review isn't for the game itself, since I haven't played the OG, but for the fact that it's not compatible with Windows 11. When starting up the game, I'm met with the error: 'Video not available, cannot find 'vids.IV32' decompressor, and haven't been able to get/skip past it, so I'm literally unable to play the game. I'm really appreciative for GOG for preserving these old games, but since a lot of people are on windows 10 or 11 these days, it's really important to make sure these games are compatible with modern hardware. If/once this is patched/fixed, then I'll update my review. Unless I find a workaround, to which I'll update this with instructions on how to fix this issue.
