      I get it when it’s a 20+ year old game where the remake just has modern graphics, some quality of life upgrades and maybe content that was cut in the original. That way, the new game feels more or less like what we remember from back then.

      What I don’t get is remakes of games that are less than ten years old, still run well on modern platforms (i.e. PS4 games on PS5). Often it’s a matter of taste which version looks better and the new one has bugs and performance problems that the old one didn’t have. Looking at you, Until Dawn remake…

        That is explains why steam keeps pushing until dawn to me. I didn’t realize it was a remake. I thought it was literally the same game, there was NO way that game had a re-release, and it isn’t exactly a dlc type of game. Wow.
