The best remake of a game I've ever played. Hell, going back to the original afterwards, you feel these little pockets of space where something feels missing... This remake carefully adds only what is necessary to complete the experience, rather than becoming bloated on unnecessary content and mechanics. The music. The camera angles. The controls. The monsters. Everything comes together beautifully, and it is as wonderful as it is horrifying. (The HD port loses a lot with its modern controls, essentially breaking parts of the game, and it doesn't look great on modern TVs, but I do appreciate it for reaching a lot of new players.) Quite frankly, Resident Evil has never been better.
