I got this recently
I expected it to be underwhelming bad, like into the Nethers- I mean Nexus, not buggy, memberberry, girlboss, mocap, 3D Sonic terrain, millennial/MCU writing, dev twitter shit slinging, diversity chart, screen tearing, voice actor replacing, modern Sci-Fi, weightless movement, soulslike dodge roll crap
Why is it like this?

I remember the insomniac museum (from 2? 3?) showing off how they could use the PS2 to simulate a small square of water ripples
In this one I walked past a puddle, on the ground, and the water rippled
The devs of olde would have made magic with the technology of today
Heck my ancient, unmaintained, decaying PS2 doesn't overheat with R&C1 but my PC is nearly hitting Helldivers temperatures with Rift Apart
