Two things before the review:.ive never played the original and this is my first survival horror experience cause I've been too much of a baby till now so I may be a bit biased.

(Also I feel like this is a good game to start for newcomers like me)

First of all loved both the main characters
Carlos's bravado was fun. the games not very stingy with resources you just have to explore and backtrack a bit.
(For newcomers)
it dosent send u into full horror directly the starting areas are more tense than scary but it cranks up the scary meter after a few areas
But you would have gained some courage up to that point so it'll be fine(hopefully)

The soundtracks also nice especially when nemesis chases you it adds to the tension and the soothing sound of the safe rooms is just always delightful to hear.
also fuck the final boss fight I like it but fuck it.

Any tips I would give are:
You don't have to fight every enemy
Be tactfull with resources not stingy
Hit a dead zombie with the knife to sew if they are actually dead
And headshots don't hit anything except the head
