If you dig into Oblivion Remastered's files you can find almost the whole original game like a set of dinosaur bones (www.pcgamer.com)

As an Oblivion fan, this seems like a buy for me.

Well you're paying €55 for a graphical update.

That's extremely overpriced.

They did also change some fundamental things about the game beyond just making it look pretty. Movement feels way smoother, plus you can sprint now. Combat is also smoother, with shit actually comboing together fluidly and also not having the stupidly slow Stealth attack animations (stealth and non stealth attack animations are identical now).

I still wouldn't pay full price for it. Only reason I have it at all is because it's on GamePass.

However I will say that they succeeded in giving me the same exact experience as playing the original for the first time. "This looks amazing... Too bad it runs like shit 😩" (and honestly, KCD2 looks better while also running better).

If it was just facelifted and made to run on and detect newer hardware and peripherals, I'd agree, but the remaster offers a lot of new flavor to the tune of voice acting, animations, rebalancing of the leveling mechanics, and fixes to ancient bugs like paintbrushes and quests breaking mid-way. Typically not a fan of remasters, but they usually don't have this much actual work done. Even some of the world objects have been fixed and moved around like the randomly placed giant rocks no longer serrating the gold road.

€55 is the price for a new game.

The voice acting alone is worth a lot. Oblivion did not age well in that regard. Not that it was ever great to beginn with…
