If you've played the recent REmakes and enjoyed those, you'll probably like this.

I didn't play the original, so I don't have any frame of reference there. But I definitely had a fun time playing through this game. The gameplay, the level design, all top-notch. I think I enjoyed the first 2/3rds of the game more than the last third, but that last portion wasn't bad either. Just slightly less fun.

The atmosphere in particular was great though. I loved the isolation you could feel at times, this feeling that you have this entire village out to get you and you're practically hopeless. The ambience, the score, the ugliness of the game just really ties everything together.

The moments that I really enjoyed though were when the game slipped into the more horror side of things. The game is more action-focused than not, but when the game throws a horror segment at you, it's so good. I almost wish there was a bit more of that, but honestly this game has plenty of variety that I'm not really complaining.

Overall, good game. Might replay it at some point in the future.
