The original game has always been my favourite one, not just in the RE franchise, but in general, among all the survival horrors I’ve ever played. When I first heard about this remake, I wasn’t sure what to make of it because previous remasters of the series were… well, not bad, but nothing special, and they certainly couldn’t live up to the originals.
Well, I’m happy to say this is not the case with this game! It doesn’t just live up to the original, but oh my God, it does so much more than that! A perfect example how all remasters should be made – it’s not simply an HD remake, but it was built up again from scratch, modernized and changed in a way to create an unexpectedly fresh experience for players of the original one, too.
Honours the memory of a twenty-year-old game, while creating a whole new survival horror classic that can stand on its own. Imaginative puzzles, depressing atmosphere, brutal boss battles, well-timed jump scares – well done, Capcom!
