ActRaiser is one of the greats, and its recent remaster does it justice while adding in a whole bunch of new wrinkles that are (mostly) in the spirit of the original.
I seriously squealed audibly and threw up my hands when this game was announced on the Direct. I had just played through the original on the Wii virtual console the week prior and that hits something I think is important.
People really owe it to themselves to put the 2 or 3 hours it takes to complete the original game before playing this version because a fair amount of the fun I had with it was trying to anticipate how Square Enix would handle a given section (the aquatic dragon in Aitos for example). Seeing the tree monster in Fillmore Act 1 being put on its own screen as a miniboss was great also.
Hopefully this sells well enough that we get to see remasters of all the Enix properties - picture a modernized E.V.O. or Soul Blazer🤤
