Oblivion Remastered does a good job in thoroughly modernising the 2006 visuals with the latest rendering technology - but the more you play, the more the exp...
It’s striking how many of the things they’ve changed seem to be slightly for the worse:
the lockpicking and persuasion minigames are a little less fun
the level-up choices are dumbed down
the speed at which you gain levels is even faster
the local map is weirdly hard to find for some reason
the HUD looks worse
there is much telemetry
there are framerate problems
Then there are the things I’d have expected them to improve that are unchanged:
they didn’t give us better difficulty settings
there’s no walking slowly with the controller
level scaling has most (but not all) of the same problems it did
the day/night cycle still flies past at hyperspeed
horses still report your crimes to the telepathic guards (okay I guess they had to keep that)
Of course there are mods to fix most of those problems. Oblivion is a great game, and it’s good to see a lot of new people playing it for the first time.
The most annoying thing for me so far is not being able to click e or f while looking in a chest to take an item and i have to use the mouse which maybe because I’m on arch is never in the center
I’m waiting for the modding scene to become mature. Once the unofficial bugfix patch comes over and most of the top (non graphical) mods from the original.

The heavly unoptimized graphical render from UE5 combine with the terrible bugged and worst LOD system ever developed from Gamebryo Engine
I honestly was expecting worse

So just like how the original was at launch too.
Going to wait for the first bug fix patch

I’m waiting for Skyblivion to release later this year
