Did this remake need to exist? No. HOWEVER.
I ADORE this game. Is it as charming as the classic from 2005? Probably not, but I love that they were able to take that cheese and still intertwine it with a game that takes itself decently serious. Everything you remember about the original sans excessive cheese is present in this remake except in my opinion it all feels 10x better. Just a really damn fun, timeless video game experience. Voice performances are on 10, Nick Apostolides knocks Leon out of the park and I personally really love Lily Gao's rendition of Ada. Saddler is still small time and everyone still goes to Bingo.
