Hoo boy, where do I even start with this.
This game is just another entry of companies remaking games to be objectively WORSE than their original versions, such as Warcraft Reforged, BDSP, or to use SEGA comparisons, Colours Ultimate and Origins.
The physics are completely butchered in this physics based platformer, many peoples favourite part of the original (Monkey Target) is gimped to being downright unplayable, and is says something MAJORLY wrong when a 2001 Gamecube launch title iooks many leagues above it's 2021 PC Remake in terms of everything from fidelity to art direction to detail, there's no longer any reflections and everything looks plastic and the water looks like a solid colour, the only thing arguably better in BM is a more vibrant colour palette.
In fact they completely removed the original games cut-scenes as well, for no real reason.

Despite all these issues SEGA hasn't updated the game a single time or provided any support whatsoever, in fact they seem so keen to get rid of this game they delisted all the DLC featuring crossover characters only around a single year after release.
I picked this game up during the Autumn sale at half price, despite low expectations I hoped to be able to have a good time by using mods to fix the game's major issues, however it turned out this stupid game refuses to recognise any of my controllers whatsoever, no matter what I try, so I can't even properly play the first level, it seems many other players experience the same judging from the game's forums, yet SEGA refuses to fix this.

I will be refunding this game immediately as it's an absolutely dreadful incompetent butchering of a remake worse in the majority of ways than the it's predecessor released a whole two decades prior, it astounds me that brainddead companies like Sega decide to remake games from scratch just to make them worse in every way and make less money by delivering an inferior product for more effort when they could simply port the originals which would be way easier and would be received way better and be more successful.
