Panzer Dragoon: Remake

Excellent arcade rail shooter

I'm not too familiar with the Sega Saturn original, so I'll review the remake for what it is. It's a great arcade rail shooter with beautiful art design, an amazing soundtrack and a simple, yet very fun and addictive gameplay. It's a short and sweet experience that encourages replayabillity with its score system. The graphics are not cutting edge (it´s a Nintendo Switch port afterall), but the art design is incredible. There's a lot of personality in the visuals. The soundtrack is outstanding. The controls are simple. The game is on rails, so there's no free camera control. You can (and must) rotate the camera in 90º with the shoulder buttons to shoot every enemy. There are two fire buttons: a primary fire button that can shoot straight or be pressed to lock on enemies and a secondary fire. It's highly recommended to hammer both of them in some situations to increase the fire rate. There are some extras, like a Photo Mode and some unlockables once the game is beat. The only technical problem I experienced is the lack o v-sync. Like others, I had to force it on the control panel of my video card. I'm an AMD user and the only option that works for me is the AMD Enhanced Sync. I gave it 4 stars, but a 4.5 is more accurate for my experience. Great game and highly recommended! I'm looking forward to Panzer Dragoon Zwei Remake, as the Sega Saturn one is considered a vastly improved sequel.
