That’s a relief. The “remastered” version appears to have been widely panned. Looks like it was a rush-job to cash in on the 25th anniversary of the original release.

Well, this version has been in the works for a long time. But I still don't understand why they decided to release it in this state. I think an option to switch between the filtered/unfiltered graphics would have calmed down a lot of people (or rather, a slider to seamlessly blend between them). But even then there's the numerous new bugs people have reported, that weren't in the original game...
