Resident Evil Goes Retro: Fan Favorite Remake Blends Classic Horror With Modern Touches
-
Faithful remake that combines classic survival horror elements like puzzles and exploration with modern touches like over-the-shoulder perspective and unlimited inventory space.
-
Strong emphasis on unraveling a creepy mystery in a richly atmospheric 1920s Louisiana setting.
-
Stars Hollywood talent like David Harbour and Jodie Comer as leads with great chemistry. Campy B-movie tone with witty dialogue.
-
Meticulously designed levels and complex puzzles recapture the satisfaction of iconic genre classics. Customizable guidance for puzzles is a nice modern feature.
-
Combat and stealth mechanics feel unpolished and dated compared to rest of the game. Most other aspects make up for this weakness.
