Tim: Again: I’ve played the original a lot, so seeing the graphics updated to a higher resolution was actually a bit of a treat. Jackson Square isn’t exactly the prettiest location in the game, but… Other than in the sense that it’s set in the 90s so people don’t have cell phones and so on. The setting and tone are really strong, and haven’t particularly dated. I can rattle off a bit of information about the Loa, or gris-gris and feel vaguely informed.
