How is this port? I've heard it's 60fps but ugly. And have they fixed the gyro to include aiming.

Oof, that's really pricy considering I've seen the entire trilogy for that price on other consoles.

It's mediocre, textures are muddy and physics/hair seem to be from older versions of the game (despite other definitive editions having newer models), even on switch 2. They could have done way more with it, def a cash grab port. Still a fun game but once the shadow drop excitement wears off the price will drop significantly I'm sure.

The Switch 2 port is the same as Switch 1 but higher resolution (constant 1080p instead of variable lower res), especially noticeable in handheld mode, and constant 60fps frame rate (instead of 30 fps). So it's a serious improvement but disappointing compared to what they could have done in particular with the docked resolution and with the textures. They also added mouse controls.
For what it's worth Apsyr has committed to future game patches but we have no idea what if anything those patches will improve. Personally I wouldn't bank on significant improvements.
