    Overall, this is a very faithful remake of a classic and beloved shoot-em-up with a fascinating world setting, now brought to life in a new and visually vibrant way. There is a definite learning curve here though, even for such a simple and direct control setup, but it’s worth sticking with and becoming The Divine Visitor the world needs.

    Panzer Dragoon Remake is every bit as good as the original. Unfortunately its modernization in some areas but not others, only shines a light on its age. It suffers from many of the same problems that any early 3D game brought into the modern age without some refinement does. It may look and sound like a brand new game, but underneath all that is a Sega Saturn game from 1995. Does that mean it's bad? Not directly, but you may occasionally need to remind yourself what you’re playing. It is merely unfortunate that with the same degree of care that was paid to its visual and auditory departments, the gameplay truly could have been given new life. I still find myself having a great time playing it, and look forward to improving my high score, but I can’t help but dream of what could have been.

    A cult classic gets a fittingly strange remake whose patchiness can't obscure the original's brilliance.

    Supidly Terrible, graphics are mediocre, even ugly at times, color is really odd, Sound is generic and lacks the personality of the original.Supidly Terrible, graphics are mediocre, even ugly at times, color is really odd, Sound is generic and lacks the personality of the original. Also theres input lag on the controllers, it doesnt add anything to the game, is better to play the otiginal. Prize is absurd 25€ for this is a SCAM. Same replayability than the original. ZERO add ons. I love the panzer dragoon series but i dont want this, is not fair to the franchice to have this CHEAP remake.… Full Review »

    Feeling more like a remaster than a true remake, this game feels extremely old fashioned. The aiming system is poor, and the 360-degreeFeeling more like a remaster than a true remake, this game feels extremely old fashioned. The aiming system is poor, and the 360-degree gameplay flat-out badly handled. This game needed to be reimagined, not just ported with better graphics. A disappointing, overpriced and unimaginative effort.… Full Review »
