World of Goo 2 feels like a remastered version of the original game but lacks the charm and atmosphere of its predecessor.
The Dragon Quest III 2D-HD Remake is one of those rare remakes that totally respects the original while still making it feel fresh. Square Enix somehow managed to keep the heart of the game while upgrading it in all the right ways.
