It successfully recreates Resident Evil 2 as a modern day over-the-shoulder survival horror experience. It's not a completely faithful recreation. It changes some stuff here and there, and not entirely for the benefit of the game in terms of replayability, but it's scary, it's stressful, it's fun, and it handles the most important design aspects of the original extremely well.

I think my biggest complaint is how it handles its soundtrack. It's largely absent, unless you turn on the original game's soundtrack, which I did. While the original game's soundtrack has aged pretty damn well, I wouldn't say that it always 100% fits the atmosphere.
