Still as good as I remember from 10 years ago! I always enjoyed this game for the story, the atmosphere, and the unique light-based combat sections.

The remaster looks great for the most part, and the movement is silky smooth - you can really tell the difference that 60 fps makes over the original. I think they also rebalanced the ammo drops, because Nightmare mode was a piece of cake this time around compared to what I remember on the 360. Back then I remember having to conserve ammo like mad, reset sections until I had spent as little ammo as possible, and run whenever I could. With this version, I pretty much just fought everything, and I still ended almost every episode with max ammo, including flare gun ammo.

The DLC is also good, and both are more challenging than the main game, especially the first one.

This game is a joy to revisit for anyone who was a fan of the original, and while it might seem a little dated to anyone coming to the game fresh, I'd still recommend it.
