Overview
- Early critiques land around the mid‑70s on aggregators, with individual scores spanning roughly 6/10 to 9/10.
- The remake adds the standalone Dark Ties sidestory, new minigames like Bad Boy Dragon and an expanded orphanage ‘Daddy Rank’ life‑sim, plus fresh weapon‑based combat options.
- Several roles were recast and designs altered to match new actors, with one casting choice tied to sexual assault allegations drawing sustained backlash in reviews.
- Visual upgrades are widely praised, including on Switch 2, though reviewers note noticeable load times and occasional stutter during very busy fights.
- A free demo is available now, pre‑orders are live at about £54.99 / $59.99, and the full release rolls out this week on PS5/PS4, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.
