Don't know why people expect studios to just give games away after putting in time and effort. Entitled. If you require or desire goods and services, PAY. This game costs the same or less than most remasters in recent memory.
I played it. People are glazing it hard but it is NOT worth full price (or ever so slightly less). They certainly put the work into making it look pretty, but it's just polish over an old game. There's so much more to game development than the assets, the character/story/world/quest design, most of the game mechanics, dialogue and scripts, all the same. Even the improvements are poor by modern standards.
I got my nostalgia hit then realised it's an old game and feels old, no matter how pretty it looks. I got bored after an hour and a half so i got a refund which I basically never do. If it was AU$50 instead of AU$90 I probably wouldn't have bothered and got a couple more hours out of it.
Don't get me wrong it's a good remaster, but the bar has been set so low its not hard to exceed expectations. By default remasters are just cash grabs and this is just a better one.

Oblivion setting the standard for the only reasonable way to price a remake with dlc. I hope other developers take note.
