A wonderful version of a classic; modern but true to source. Some of the changes are good (Ashley re-write, new approach to knives, cutting some of the bloat-y sections), whereas some are a negative (the new, worse method of choosing how closely Ashley follows you).
Then there are some things that are a bit of a wash, and your mileage will vary. Like RE2 Remake, the new visuals are beautiful but some of the ambience and unique style is lost. Similarly, the writing has some of the original's camp qualities but not all of it -- the tradeoff being that characters like Ashley are... Actually well written.
Additional note: I played this on Steam Deck and with a mix of high and medium settings, I got a solid 30 fps. Hooray!
