Very well polished version of the original. It's not just the graphics that got updated, but the gameplay got improved as well:
* The UI shows names of NPCs and names are even shown on the map, which helps tremendously. In the old game I would wander about a lot talking to every NPC on site because I would forget which was which (they all look similar and they move around).
* Camera zooms in when indoors.
* The character no longer runs like he has polio. Proper sprinting this time.
* Characters can climb up most of the slopes in Shamazar.
* Controls have been simplified. Some may view it as a negative though.
* etc.

Issues:
* The quest log is a bit harder to navigate than in the original (instead of side-to-side scrolling i'd prefer a navigation menu like before).
* So far (after playing for 10+ hours) I encountered a single scripting error, when a cutscene in Motazaar triggered too early. It was supposed to be delayed for a minute or so. Nothing broke though, so it was just a bit funny in the end.
* The game doesn't work on Windows N editions. Seems to be the same issue as with GTA V.
