The reloading game had consequences for my life... Broke my finger
not like the old one but its fun to play
Super disappointed with this one. Love the original but this feels like a pale imitation. Terrible controls and ugly as sin, it’s only saved by being a remake of a really fun game.
Funktioniert, Coop ist super, ist aber schon wirklich SEHR kurz
Going to be succinct on this one. Controls are not great, something that needs to be perfect for a light gun game, the menus and UI scream “cheap cash-in”, and technical issues hamper what should have been an easy slam-dunk of a game. Zombie designs are pretty bland and lifeless (something that’s been an issue of the series since HOTD4; comparatively, look at the designs in 1, 2, and 3, which tow the line between “generic” and “immediately recognizable”.) Typos and sound balancing issues left and right leave an air of amateurism. The worst way to play an arcade classic. Never trust Forever Entertainment, folks!
Controls worse than the wii ports. This should've been PC+VR.
For years we struggled to replicate Light gun technology, I believe VR is probably the best fit for it, and many other more gimmicky arcade games, but that technology is stuck on a catch-22 and it being in the wrong hands makes matters worse

Overall not a bad remake but it just doesn't recapture that same magical first time feeling as the original arcade version. Not to say this is bad by any means it is still a very fun version of HOTD 1 it just feels off in some places. I really only had 2 complaints being:
1. the new OST sucks I wish they had the original
2. I did not like the ragdoll physics at all it felt very weird I would have perfect the original method of how the monsters died.
Past that the game looks nice and plays very well on PC with a mouse ! I would recommend on a sale or if you are a fan of the original HOTD then buy it now and support them for making this even happen!

It's a 40 minute arcade game that you can complete 4 times with 4 different friends!)
Remake pros:
+ "Remote Play" function + Support for playing together on 1 keyboard / mouse.
+ Good dismemberment (you can shoot at the bodies, even after the death of the monster).
+ Ability to skip cutscenes.
+ Achievements.
Minuses:
- Poor overall visual style, looks like some kind of mobile phone, average monsters design.
- Terrible interface.
- Not the best graphics.
- New mode useless.
- No normal support for light guns.
- YET: HORRIBLE OPTIMIZATION, constant drops up to 10 fps on gtx 1650.
But the game is still great, it`s completing in one breath, the locations are normal, there are many secret passages, although there are not enough alternative guns, they seem to be there, but I didn’t find any. We are waiting for a remake of the second part, but, preferably, from another studio. For me, the leader in the genre of "rail shooter" on the PC platform is still "Blue Estate".

The House of the Dead is a series near and dear to my heart. I've played it in arcades some growing up, but my real love for it developed when I originally played The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return and Overkill on Wii. I have always thought that console/PC games needed more on-rails shooters, as it is a genre that has slowly died out with the fall of arcades. So, when seeing the announcement for this game, a remake of the original House of the Dead, I was pretty damn hyped. Does this game live up to the hype tho? Well, I am a bit mixed, but overall find the game enjoyable and a good time as a fan of this series.
Let's start with the positives. I really enjoy the visual style that they went with here. Everything looks pretty damn good imo. Zombies, humans, and the environments all look fantastic and faithful to the original game. The music and sound design are also very well done here. Its spooky, but also full of B-movie level voice acting and vibes.
The thing I have seen complained about the most is the way the game controls. You basically have two options: use the gyro controls on the joycons/pro controller, or use the left/right stick to aim. Many have been wanting to use gyro controls in order to full get that light gun experience. Unfortunately, THOTD Remake has some pretty wonky gyro controls. It always feels just a bit off, even when tampering with it in the settings. Curiously enough, unless I completely missed it, there doesn't seem to be a way to reset the gyro either. This is a baffling decision to me, as pretty much every game that I have played on Switch that features gyro controls has a simple way to reset them. Instead, you have to opt for dual aiming with the gyro and the left stick, and use the left stick to sort of manually reset it. This is very cumbersome to the point where I opted to just use the left stick to aim. While this sort of defeats the purpose of a light-gun game, I still found it to be fun overall to control the game this way. But this does not mean that I was not disappointed to relive the light-gun arcade, or even the Wii Zapper days here with this game.
The game's performance has also been called into question. In my experience, after turning on Performance Mode, things operated perfectly fine. There were some long load times and the occasional stutter in a cutscene, but I never had the performance affect the way I played or cost me a life.
There is also some neat little features added here, such as a horde mode and model viewer. I would have liked to have seen a bit more here though in this remake. For example, I would have loved to have seen some concept art from the original game, some videos detailing the history of the series, or some more unlockables other than achievements.
With all that being said, I do really enjoy this remake. I am surely going to play it a ton in order to get all the endings, discover all of the paths throughout the game, and play co-op with my girlfriend and friends. But I do wish that a bit more went into this game, especially on the controls side. Even with that said, this is a game that captures the feeling of old-school on-rails shooters pretty damn well. Just patch in a way to reset gyro, and this game could be one of the best HOTD games out there. As it stands now though, this is a good time for fans of the series, but probably won't win over anyone else.
If I would let my love of the series cloud my judgement, I would give this a 7/10. However, turning my fanboy off, the game is def closer to a 6/10.
EDIT: I bought the PC version and my god, what an improvement. The game runs a lot better, looks great, and sounds better too. I'd love to get a PC lightgun controller so that I can get the full experience. But even with just using a mouse and keyboard, the PC version of THOTDR is much, much better. I'd say this is now around a 7.5/10 for me. If you are going to get this game, the PC version is the way to go.
