Gorgeous game, a masterful remake of an absolute classic. That dastardly Wesker is up to no good. I'm in love with Jill Valentine also (after Leon)

Rough around the edges, but undeniably compelling. I also get do dress up with all kinds of pretty dresses.

The story ain't nothing to write home about, and the characters are... well they're there, you can't deny that they are in the game. The plot is enough to keep you going from one scenario to the next, but that's about it. The meat and potatoes is the parkour and combat system. I can have endless fun just going around Harran, much like I could have endless fun just swinging around as Spider-man in SM2 for the PS2. The grappling hook is fun, although it makes the game quite easy and the Volatiles that make the night usually terrifying become a bit trivial, especially when you have unlocked safe areas 15 seconds from one another.

A perfect follow up to the best game ever made. I acknowledge it's dated in a couple of ways and has some flaws, but at the same time, I will not be objective about this. It has no flaws and is not dated at all.
2001
The absolute peak in psychological horror, and arguably the best game in the series. A total masterpiece, even the soundtrack alone is able to make me emotional, but contextualized with the game it's something else. Video games don't tend to have super engaging or well written stories, but this one got me totally emotionally invested and absolutely wrecked me.

It was quite compelling back when it came out, but looking back at it now... it's fine. It's just fine. Not much depth to it, but the world can be sort of fun to explore. The story is nothing, nobody cares about it, the characters are skin deep, but you can shoot an arrow at a big spider. It is what it is.
2010
The biggest hassle is having to go to the config files to change the awful FOV. Other than that, and some hit and miss stealth mechanics and enemy detection, it's a really good game. The Metro games have such fantastic atmosphere, it's really on another level. Must play for fans of the genre.
2015
It's good, but anyone saying it's a replacement for the original, or better (other than graphically) is lying. I like some of the things it adds, but it completely messes up the pacing in many ways. Feels like playing a padded version of the original. Incredibly impressive and a fantastic fan project, but I don't like the narrative that it's a substitute for the original, or should be played before it. The only thing I can think of is if someone can't stand playing a game with old graphics so they gotta play this instead, but those people are scum of the earth and I have no respect for them.
A great companion for Half-Life, an impressive project, and a very cool reimagining. Definitely worth playing.

In love with the aesthetics of this, like if Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland wasn't dogshit. The game itself is a pretty fun and competent character action thing. I do like it a lot.

The web swinging is still unparalleled
Literally perfect. I want to kiss Leon on the lips.

Can be a hassle to get work nowadays, but boy is it worth it. Perkele.

It is great, but it goes on for a bit too long.

I genuinely love it, but it's also borderline impossible to recommend to new players. Beneath layers of bullshit, there is a really damn great game under there. You also get to pay- I mean play, as many different horror icons. You also get to pay up the ass with this game. They got me, they've made me a fool, I've spent too much money on this shit, you should make better decisions. But really, the monetization is quite sickening. It would be a bit much even for a free game, but you have to pay to play this. If I pivot to Texas Chain Saw Massacre, surely they won't have horrible monetization, right?
TL;DR - It's bullshit hell, but when it hits, nothing hits quite like it.
