Metris

I really like the take on this song, I think the sound quality is pretty good.  You definitely build/break appropriately and it feels good to listen to this song.  I'm very very much looking forward to where you go with this after you add more percussion/evolution to the song.

Very chill and lush texture.  Quite enjoyable.  Production sounds better on this one, compared to the last.  The kick is not overpowering this time :)
I am feeling the source plenty here, again like the previous i'd like to hear more of your own ideas imparted onto it.  Could be things like more melodic development, countermelodies, reharmonization, a new original section maybe.  The dynamic level stays pretty constant throughout as well, some contrast there would be good.  You did a good job of delivering textural contrast.
Since this stays relatively sparse throughout the track adding more energy as you go along would be really helpful.  You do change things up texturally at the right times, so the 4 minutes does breeze by, but it could really go to the next level with more (see earlier comment about adding more of your own).  The feel is mostly the same as the original, which there isn't anything wrong with, it just means you need to add more of your own flavors and spices to get it by.  Really consider that if you plan on submitting.

Hey thx for the feedback. I don't often get anything constructive from most people, so I'm glad that you showcased clear criticisms in my work that I plan to improve upon. ❤️

The main issue I've noticed is the imbalance between the percussion and the rest of the parts.  The kick is much louder then the rest of the parts.
While the original source does go ham with that decending arp through the whole track, it would be nice to get a break from it or a change of pattern.  Something just to give some contrast to the texture of the piece.  You do a good job of changing the other parts up at good times to keep the interest going especially with it being a longer piece.  When we get to 3:50 in particular it's lovely because the textural change feels so impactful.
It does feel very much like First Steps still because the sound design choices feel very similar to the original too.
Aside from the kick being too loud, there really isn't much else "wrong" with it.  If you plan on submitting to OCR I would strongly considering adding some more of your own variation and vibe to the track.  Also, some more humanization, especially with note velocities.
I enjoyed the track's mellowness.  It is pretty.

So about two years ago, I produced a remix of First Steps. Upon retrospect, it was flawed (but I enjoyed it nonetheless). However, I really wanted to revamp what I had already produced so now I have produced a reimagining of that same remix. I think it has more of its own identity, yet still feels Celeste-like. 
 
 

Really like the futuristic atmosphere and beat. Got a lot of SNES vibes too in terms of the sound design. Only thing I'd say is that it sounds a little muddy. Other than that, great remix.
