Better than the base game, actually kind of ripper. Ditches Sheva's boring boringness for a proper Jill Valentine, has King Wesker doing the cool trenchcoated cyborg stuff, takes place in an updated Spencer Mansion, puts a (more) proper emphasis back on classic RE note-reading, but most importantly... the door opening transitions are fucking BACK! The puzzle/cat-and-mouse part in the waterlogged area when you're without your weapons is as good of a section as there are the best Resident Evil games. All of the reskins here are also superior to the original (despite there being a sad lack of enemy variety), but Chris is still a bulging freak of nature though - and it's way too short for what it is - but imo they absolutely understood what they were put on to make here even if it's daisy-chained to the mostly unsatisfactory RE5 engine.
