Is it still worth playing?

Remastered in 2021 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows, this is the version of the 2010 action role playing game whose hero is a younger boy. The protagonist is a teenage boy whose name you choose, where the Gestalt version has an older man. You control him in third person to interact with people, objects and enemies, and you can turn the camera 360 degrees around him. The world is divided into areas separated by loading screens, in which you walk, run, jump and climb ladders. In some rooms the camera swings to the side and he moves as in a 2D platformer, and in some battles it pulls up to simulate a top down shoot em up. You can customize weapons with materials you find or buy. A camera that changes the kind of game it shows, from room to room and fight to fight, still keeps it from settling into one style.
