Okay so I got to the monsiac lines before deciding to take a break. So far I am a little bit disappointed. Everything feels too fast, and I don't just mean the gameplay directly. The cutscene voices sometimes overlap each other just a little bit, as well as just feeling too quick like it's being played 1.2x speed or something, and the gamespeak voices sound like everyone is in a serious hurry. I guess the faster gameplay isn't really a bad thing, I was just hoping for, you know, Abe's Oddysee speed. But all this I can get over since (most) of the voices are good and the soundtrack is spot on perfect, I'll get to the soundtrack in a moment.
The main issue I've had so far is the bugs. I honestly wasn't expecting so much, but a lot of this feels like "that just shouldn't have happened." For instance, I'll solve one of the secret puzzles (love the new trap door system btw) and feel it was a bit easy, then I'll try to remember how it was in AO and I'll quickly realize that the reason I did it so easy was I accidentally cheated. Going back to the areas and doing them again to see what was up I noticed I could get in specific positions where I could chant and take a slig over that I should not have been able to. Now, it's not like I am some speed runner who was specifically looking for tricks to take advantage of (*cough cough* shade *cough cough*) I just accidentally found these spots. Another example, one that actually made one of the puzzles overly difficult, was the scrabs stop chasing you too easily. On the puzzle where you have to run back and forth across multiple gaps while being chased by a scrab I kept loosing the aggro and would have to inch closer to it to get it to chase me again so I could start my return trip.
Now for one last quick note on the music. Whoever did this needs a medal from what I've heard so far. It's almost just like an HQ version of the original, except there a few minor additions which really fit the new visual aesthetics as well and it's just really amazing. I might actually try to go into the files and get the music to put into mp3 and put on my player because damn, it's great.

That's only my thoughts so far, I haven't played the whole game so I'm not going to be like "3/10 wouldn't play again" but as I went on it did start to improve.
