I consider this game to be timeless. No matter how old it gets, the atmosphere will always be amazing. The locations and setpieces will be memorable. The framing of the camera and the angles they used are purposeful and look wonderful. The only thing that most people would have issues with, the tank controls, are now an option in these modern releases to swap out for traditional ones.

This game was just really ahead of its time. It for sure has tons of stupid moments. I never understood why everyone bashed 6 for its absurd moments, but you can have giant animals as bosses in this game and it's A-Ok!


But those moments don't really matter in this game because it is always fun and enganging. And there's so much content. Chris and Jill runs are so different, and there's even choices and minor branching paths to make in the middle of the journey. They don't lead to a lot, sometimes an item or new cutscene, but it's still welcome.

It's hard not to love this game. It succeeds at basically everything it does, and it continues to be great with age.
