Resident Evil

GOATED remake!

Si bellissimo gioco, ti tiene col fiato sospeso, favoloso splatter-horror della Capcom.

Resident Evil Remake is an incredible game that I consider one of the best video game remakes and remains amongst my top Resident Evil games. While it has a lot of differences from the original, it is mostly faithful, does most things better and nearly replaces it for me. Despite the original not having areas like the graveyard and Lisa Trevor, they are part of the director's original vision as well. Compared to modern Resident Evil, REmake provides a better horror and tense experience. The atmosphere is unmatched and has a perfect mix of creepy and relaxing moments. The fixed camera angles also allow for a more cinematic experience and introduce anxiety and uncertainty when you do not know where enemies are beyond your vision. Additionally, the music is noticeable and adds to the atmosphere while staying faithful to the original, unlike recent Resident Evil games. The inventory management is even stricter and encourages players not to simply kill most enemies in their path due to the addition of crimson heads, which are faster and stronger re-animated zombies that have not been decapitated or burned. Graphically, this game is still beautiful, and I love the pre-rendered backgrounds. During my replay, however, I noticed that it looks rougher than I remembered. Luckily, there are good upscale mods out there that provide the visual experience that I had in mind. I highly recommend people who are new to Resident Evil to start with this game. I might be biased since this is my first Resident Evil game back when I played on consoles, but it is the definitive survival horror experience for me. Lore-wise, it is important, especially if you want to see the build-up of Chris and Wesker's rivalry in Code Veronica and RE5. The ability to play this up to 120 FPS also makes it a smooth and satisfying experience, and door-skip mods make it less annoying to play on PC.
