    Gargoyles Remastered is a disappointing time. Fans of the original will delight in getting to play it on a modern system and the quick rewind helps to alleviate some of the more egregious design choices, but it also highlights how barebones this remaster really is. The rough and ready feel isn’t helped by modern visuals that look aesthetically worse and seem to add extra lag and imprecision to the controls. This is one oldie that perhaps should have been left to sleep in stony isolation.

    There just isn’t enough to Gargoyles Remastered to recommend it beyond those who are either hoping to relive some memories or those morbidly curious. The new lick of paint loses any sort of magic once the first level wraps up and the remainder of the package is far too threadbare.

    Gargoyles Remastered is too faithful to the original to make it fit on modern consoles, but the art style and music carry you through. The rewind feature helps with the challenge, but overall it feels pretty lifeless in today's day and age.

    However, the bare bones game, the lack of any voicework and the emptiness of accomplishment at the end creates a hollow feeling. This really does feel like eating cotton candy: sweet and visually pleasing, but it just will not fill you up. Get it, love it, appreciate it, but don’t over anticipate what’s inside. This is, at its core, another Disney 16-bit port.
