Yes.

The main complaint people have is that there's only 4 unique levels, but I feel like there's enough added to the remixed levels that give them an identity of their own. Returning levels have a lot of new features and objects included that weren't there before, and some new interactions come up as a result. Boss fights are some of the most creative in the franchise too, so there's that!

As is tradition, people think the special stages are really hard, but I dunno, I got used to them really quickly.

Now the PC version unfortunately has DRM on it, but I have waited 23 years for this game to happen so I wasn't going to let that stop me. If you own a Switch or a PS4, its well worth the money if you like 2D platformers.

Thank you Hukos for your impressions !
About the 4 levels, it's true that it seems to be short ! But if it's as you said, if the levels are great (and the boss too or more !) it's ok for me.
Alas, I don't have a PSIV (and will never have) and no Switch... for the moment ! Maybe later ! ;)

Oh the full game is 12 levels long, it just 4 new levels and 8 remixed ones from previous games.

Levels are split into two acts each, each one with their own boss, so you've got 24 bosses spread across 12 levels.

In fact, I knew about the fact that there were 12 levels , 4 new levels and 8 remixed ones from previous games ! i've read some tests and reviews on the net ! :)
Thank you about the precisions concerning the levels and bosses !

I've started to play again Streets of Rage 2 ! I've played it many times but it's still so great ! :)

Currently playing Popful Mail, with Supper's Un-Worked Designs patch to restore the game back to its intended difficulty. Like pretty much all of the games WD localized, it's quite a bit better without their gameplay "tweaks".

I've also played Streets of Rage III ! And I continue to think that the second one is far more better ! :)

Welp I think I can say Pokemon Moon bit me hardcore with the Pokebug. I played Red earlier this year and while it was enjoyable, was definitely dated in many respects. Moon, not so much. Really loving it and now looking forward to both Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon out next month (pre-ordered both for Amazon's discount...one is for me, the other's a gift) and going back through the rest of the series. Got Silver on virtual console and the rest of the series in some form or another.

Oh also still Horizon Ultra Hard run. Hoping to finish that before Frozen Wilds hits.

Well, a few things. Take a look at my list in my signature, ha ha.

Pokemon Moon...well, all post-game now, on and off. At this point, just breeding Pokemon for filling a living Pokedex in Pokemon Bank, and breeding perfect versions (IE, perfect individual values in the stats it needs, typically defense, special defense, hit points, speed, and attack OR special attack depending on which the Pokemon in question actually makes best use of, and a suitable nature for a useful buff and debuff that's either meaningless or can be worked around) of a bunch of fire-types. This project may transfer over to Ultra Sun when it releases.

Pokemon Silver - just started on 3DS virtual console. Not even at the first gym. Makes some improvements on Red, but also still a bit dated in some ways, but not as much. Still enjoyable though, will finish.

Super Mario Odyssey - do you have a Switch? If so, get this game. My favorite 3D Mario game to date, beating out the Galaxy games.

Yoshi's New Island - it's Yoshi's Island. It's cute, not that challenging, and fun. What more to be said.

Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds - it downloaded to my PS4 early Monday morning, and downloaded a tiny unlock patch right at midnight last night. If I wasn't tired with the time change messing with me, I would've jumped right in. But that's what I will be doing after work and will make up the bulk of my gaming time for the near future.

I'm actually playoing another old games on my beloved Megadrive : one game I never tried before but now it's ok : it's LIGHT CRUSADER !
And it's a great game ! As far as I've played through it (only 3 hours for the moment !) it's a nice dungeon crawler.
Has anyone here tested it, or even finished it ? What do you ou did you think about it ?
