The remake is very faithful to the original while also offering extra content like unlockable skins, replayable missions, side missions to earn extra DNA, and some shiny new upgrades that weren't in the original. I think some of the character models used in cutscenes can be a bit overexaggerated/ugly at times but generally speaking I like the art direction choice they took. The unlockable art gallery shows direct comparisons between the original and new models of various things like crypto, the damaged probes, and various buildings around the first area like the barn and the graphical and artistic upgrades have done this remake a world of good. If the rest of the game is as well recreated as the first mission, this will very likely be the GOTY for many people. If the game is successful enough I hope they remake the second game as well.
