A good game watered down by a lot of issues.
At its core it's a classic Resident Evil game with everything you'd expect from it. And it's good at that!
However a lot of stupid design choices kinda ruin the fun.
The main issue is the inventory. You have two inventories since you control two characters but they are absolutely tiny and you'll constantly have to drop items and come back later to pick them up again when you have space. To make it worse, there is no item box in this game. You can't store your items anywhere, so you'll have to drop them, remember where you dropped them and do a lot of backtracking when you need them again. This is just annoying and doesn't add anything to the game whatsoever.
You'll also constantly be switching locations and rooms and everytime you do that, there'll be a loading screen/cutscene with you opening the door, climbing up stairs etc. This gets annoying really quickly as you are changing locations a lot and the loading screen is a lot longer than necessary. I don't mind that for the original Gamecube version but there is no need for it in a 2016 PC game. Luckily there are mods on PC to solve this issue (and also the inventory problem as there is an item box mod!).
Gameplay also feels dated, especially the shooting mechanics but that's okay, it's just a remasted version after all and although it's dated, the gameplay still makes a lot of fun.
All in all it's definitely worth playing if you are a Resident Evil fan or just want to explore the beginning of the story. If you are new to the franchise and want to play one of the best Resident Evil games, this is not it.
