Reviewers overwhelmingly see the shipped edition as polished and dramatically improved over early demos, with remaining rough edges rarely overwhelming the core experience.
Pros: performance optimization, frame rate stability
Cons: controller ergonomics, platform-specific feature support
Polish was praised in Fextralife coverage, especially performance and low bug frequency.
Pros: co-op experience, fun factor
Cons: difficulty balance, social features
Polish was praised in broad terms, especially compared with older entries, though this sat alongside recurring UI and pacing caveats.
Pros: progression system, narrative quality
Cons: pacing, content variety
Most accounts describe a polished release with relatively minor bugs, even though technical roughness is more visible on some PC configurations.
Pros: narrative quality, fun factor
Cons: dialogue quality, difficulty balance
Quality-of-life tweaks add welcome smoothness, but dated assets, unresolved rough edges, and the small scale of the update keep the remaster from feeling comprehensively polished.
Pros: narrative quality, combat system
Cons: remake/remaster quality, value for money
The remaster adds welcome polish and refinement, but reviewers still see visible PS3-era rough edges. The overall presentation is cleaner without feeling rebuilt from the ground up.
Pros: combat system, remake/remaster quality
Cons: animation quality, environmental detail
Polish was mixed: some reviews called it well built or visually polished, while others cited buggy, inconsistent, or clumsy execution.
Pros: atmosphere, faithfulness to franchise
Cons: puzzle design, co-op experience
Polish was mixed: some reviewers called it well-crafted, while others pointed to rough edges, jank, or unwanted technical nasties.
Pros: combat system, narrative quality
Cons: boss design, puzzle design
Polish was a concern across previews, especially quality-of-life gaps, combat issues and bugs close to launch.
Pros: combat system, companion AI
Cons: open-world design, movement feel
Many of the game’s strongest ideas are held back by rough execution. Camera problems, technical instability, interface quirks, reused content, and inconsistent combat rules leave several reviewers calling the sequel...
Pros: fun factor, narrative quality
Cons: boss design, exploration quality
Technical and animation jank is widespread enough to be a recurring caveat. The game can feel polished in stretches, but its ambitious systems still show rough edges.
Pros: combat system, fun factor
Cons: content variety, polish
