It looks more like a cross-gen PS2 era game with half baked art asset changes at this point.Before and after comparison video
From what I've seen, they missed the point that limbo is supposed to look bad. The desert levels look just as empty as before, the structures are still just abstract cubes in the middle of a flat empty plane. Cerberus has clunkier animations and they got rid of the iconic blue/red skull design.
Overall there's a lot of good changes, especially in the prelude, lust and gluttony, but some of the other ones are unnecessary, they fixed stuff that wasn't broken. They often focused more on polygonal detail instead of populating the levels to make them more immersive and less empty, especially in act 2.

At this point it seems like they've completely given up on staying true to PSX graphics. This staircase looks ridiculous now

For example, the old statue certainly looked a bit stupid, but the new one is extremely detailed and dismisses the low poly style entirely. At least the game now has more consistent graphics overall, but it's not really retro anymore.
