Mainly typing this review just to bump up the 2star rating, as i feel it does not deserve the 2star
Overall, it IS a downgrade from the simpler and omegajanky earlier iteration. but the remake actually brings something cool and pretty creative mechanics with it's 2.5D(?) approach.
The exploration/quest is pretty good, needs a bit more explanations on the controls and tape acquisition method but still comes out good.
The controls are pretty smooth, though the keybinding is weird and might not be suited for less "gamer"-ey audience.
The gameplay/combat is passable at best, frustrating at worst. the platforming is a bit rough because of the angles, it is still manageable but it really needs more jump height + air time to make it more forgiving. also doesn't help that the most important attack on the bossfight comes from the Z axis which is REALLY HARD to anticipate because of the lack of depth perception.
For a "beta remake" its not 'dogshit'. but it's definetly not worth it to try and diagonal jump for the choppy/broken sex animation(that you can get without engaging the game anyways)
