I'm glad I chose this remake to be my first step into the RE series. The way it makes the player feel absolutely helpless in the Spencer Mansion, there's not even that many enemies once you take the entire game as a whole. But the way it hammers in the point that conserving ammo is sometimes better than taking everything out immediately is absolutely great. To the point that I felt I was wasting precious ammo sometimes due to panic moment or realizing I killed an enemy I could've totally maneuvered around, or the game sometimes punishing you for not disposing of some enemies correctly.
The soundtrack of this game is pretty unique in that there aren't many genuine songs in this game, instead opting to do great ambient sound design that actively made me nervous to be in a room or turn a corner not knowing what was there until the static camera show would show me. The track "Macabre Hallway" is a great example of the soundtrack's use of ambient horror.
The story is incredibly fun and offers a lot of replayability whether you want to do Jill or Chris' route, each route is unique in story and gameplay.
The added content to this remake such as the Trevor family does a good job of showing how evil Umbrella Corp. is from the start along with the enemies in this game doing a pretty good job showing off body horror such as the Chimeras or Hunters.
