It was...fine? Obviously the original changed...well...basically the entire gaming landscape with the over the shoulder view. But that was twenty years ago, what does this game bring to the table?

...Eh? The combat is excellent, enemies are quite varied and reactive. But also not really that hard? I recall playing the original version being scary, but this one...Noope. Didn't even make me all that tense either. It was FUN though. ...I dunno, like empty calories kind of way?

As for changes to the story...Eh? The B movie cheese was removed, replaced by Leon being...really bland. Occasionally belting out one liners from the last game to make us go 'HE SAID THE THING!'.

They did a lot of good work on Ruiz though, making that side character really stand out. ...And making me wish we were playing as him instead.
