Take Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty!, last year’s PS4 remaster of the cult classic Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee, which saw an updated game engine and so much polishing that, in many ways, it’s a vastly superior game to the 1998 original. There are, thankfully, more than a few titles that are genuine remasters.

Whether for nostalgia, profit, or both, developers are digging through their back catalogs to find titles worthy of a quick spit ‘n’ shine to give a new round of players - and those who fondly remember the original - a chance to experience an older game.
It’s become very du jour of late to remaster older games.
