i don’t know how they made one of the greatest survival horror games of all time even better, improved gameplay mechanics and story/character wise made more sense (we got more of a back story of how leon became an DSO Agent) . expanded on the current lore whilst adding new monsters, improved krausers knife fight, making it seem more than just QTE.. i felt Ashley was more difficult than the original which is good, because id just hid her and call her when i cleared out everyone. Though a major improvement from the original, the chapters were embedded perfectly. it did remove some of leons iconic lines which would stand up for the original but id say its more fitting for leons character in the remake timeline to behave as he did.

this game holds really strong in my heart, the themes it tackles such as loss and opening eyes reality, and is delved in deep throughout all episodes. It exposes greed and selfishness arises when in face of zombies, the real monsters aren’t those who are walkers but those who are filled with selfishness.

I felt as each episode progressed the characters developed. i also really liked the dynamics of lee and clementine, despite being her protector Lee always took in feedback from others on what he needed to do in order for clementine to survive .

I enjoyed Jills character even more here, her dodge action was a bit challenging to do but i got the hang of it eventually. I loved the level designs, every boss fight with nemesis felt like i had to use different strategies yet i enjoyed the difficulty it gave .

Jills dialogue and voice acting is superb considering the time the game was developed. I thought the soundtrack was beautiful, and very fitting. i liked how the game had choices (which one impacted the ending only). I loved every puzzle (even the water puzzle) i felt like each one was unique to each its own. Overall i felt like it was perfect for me.

I loved every moment of it from the start to the end. Every boss fight felt unique, and required unique strategies to defeat every boss. Baldur was clearly my favourite boss to defeat as he is a great antagonist behind his writing.

But if im being honest every character was written well in the game, i loved Atreus and Kratos' father and son dynamic develop throughout the game. It gets you right in the feels haha.

Also i definitely recommend psn exclusives should be played on a controller rather than keyboard to get a better experience.
