Resident Evil HD Remaster (2015)
Not Aging Well
The game is overall fine. I've never been a fan of fixed camera games so I knew I'd struggle with that but the game does not scale well on modern (2024) technology and that was frustrating. Good romp overall but I don't think I'll pick it up again.
I enjoyed a lot of the lore and it's fun to see where the whole series began but inventory, fixed angle, and resolution issues out of the box make it not super fun at the moment. It is definitely overdue for a remake and I hope they make it less frustrating to slog through by making the inventory more manageable. That alone would help a lot and save time running back and forth.
Alone in the Dark (2024)
Solid game. Combat issues.
Solid story, good acting for the most part and a stellar setting! Absolutely loved exploring all the locations and the great detail put into those locations. Combat was a bit janky for me. Struggled especially against one small enemy that would consistently glitch under the floor on PC. Frustrated me greatly and is my biggest knock on this fun game.
I completed the Edward Carnby run in about 11 hours which is probably a bit longer than average. I encountered a few other glitches (like getting stuck on objects and walking on air instead of descending a stair case). Overall, I had a mostly good time and recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of old-school horror games as it has some good references to the original in here.
