Yeah, for real. I got to try the mobile port for a while, which had twin-stick controls before they updated the PC version with those, and I felt the difference immediately. The game is so much more fun and playable, it's ridiculous.
I had never played P1 all the way through to completion, until this update. Once the update hit, I couldn't stop playing until I hit the ending. That's how vast of an improvement this is.
