It's gloriously next gen as you'd expect visually, but like with a lot of these remakes, the issue is the last time I played the first game, it was 13 year old me and my beloved PS3, and my mind's eye sees the same gooey, gory grandiose here as from those years ago. Of course the original doesn't look as good as this one really but it plays incredibly similar. Kudos to the original for being so damn good in the first place. I guess the point of these remakes is that we can play them and not feel as old as they are, but honestly who cares.
Anyways it was good fun revisiting this claustrophobic nightmare once again. I hate to be that guy but I like the stoic silent PS3 Isaac better: more mystery = more sexy!
