    Great remake of a classic! Same, but yet amazingly different reimagined world. Graphics are great and did lose what the original story had

    I bought this game not knowing much about it. It was rated high by individual and gaming sites , so I thought I give it a chance. I have not been disappointed.

    Close to perfect, but a few noticeable flaws

    I bought a 2nd copy as a gift for someone, so I do genuinely like this game. This review is from the perspective of someone who grew up and played the original. I was excited to play this Remake, and this game did deliver. But unlike the PS1 version there are some differences I honestly didn't like. Some enemies from the original are gone (spiders), some enemies are noticeably different (but that's a personal nitpick), the A and B scenarios are not very different at all (to the point of contradicting each other-even moreso than the original), and for some reason Claire looks jarringly different (many characters in this series go through similar big changes-but still). There's no Exteme battle or merc mode, but there is a extra survival mode where you play the game through as people who COULD have lived, but didn't through the main story. Aiming is also a bit inconsistent as enemies seem to take random damage. It's done for the sake of realism when dealing with zombies, but honestly it can get more annoying than scary. It's still worth a playthrough, but honestly I feel like this game needs the "Director's Cut" treatment, that could easily fix a lot of the problems and complaints out there. It could probably easily jump to a perfect 5 for me if it did.

    Rebuilt from the ground up but still fun and engaging like the original. Older fans might complain and say the original is better but this is a must buy for the series.

    This is what a remake should be like. The game looks great and is scary. An absolute steal for Black Friday at $15 in my opinion. It’s worth full price!
