The animations weren't as 'natural' as in the original but you can tell they have tried at least. They could have been way worse. I didn't like the increased amount of goofiness from Abe and the overall change in tone in the game as well as in the cutscenes, including visuals as well as mudokon workers casual comments. Looking at the cutscenes, the animation quality in general was kind of lacking in comparison to the original game.
I really hated the ragdoll physics, in my opinion they always look cheap in comparison to proper death animations. They make your game look cheap. Unless you're Rockstar and have access to the Euphoria engine, these should be avoided in any case.
The absence of the grid-based movement is a huge drawback as well and ruins a lot of timing based platforming such as the meat grinders.
But even with these points, this is complaining on a high level. It's still better than most of the "remakes" out there.
