The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered
Chapter 5

The open world holds up remarkably well. Side quest writing is genuinely better than most modern RPGs.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered
Chapter 1

The remaster's lighting makes the Imperial City feel genuinely grand. The jankiness that I remember is still there in moments, but now it reads as charm.
Apr 1
Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered
Act 2

Story picked up significantly after the first few quests. Aloy's world starts making sense in a way that rewards paying attention.

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered
Chapter 1

The remaster is stunning. Lighting on the machines and foliage is dramatically better than I remembered.
