That’s a “port”.

A “remaster” is traditionally more focused on a rerelease with improved graphic fidelity - details, resolution, possibly lower-effort improvements to models and geometry, but basically the same game, slightly modernised with better modern compatibility.

A “remake” would be a complete overhaul of the modelling, QoL improvements, or reimagining some systems potentially including game engine. Eg, the FF7 remake.

That is the logical way to classify them.

Of course, the industry has been calling ports remasters for a while because it sounds like they did more work that way.
