Overall the remake was very fun to play. I selected standard difficulty on my first play through even though I played the original and I was glad I did as I found it challenging at times but not hard enough to take me away from the story and narrative of the game itself.
The horror atmosphere was definitely more present in this than in the original however this one was let down by a few little things, for example I loved the U3 boss fight in the original which was removed from this game entirely also there's no unlockable story modes after the game like Assignment Ada or Separate Ways, although Capcom might add this at a later date (hopefully free too please!) The regenerators don't feel as scary either.
I like the added dialogue between Leon and Krauser about Operation Javier, most people don't even know about that backstory if they've not played RE The Darkside Chronicles. Ashley is also less annoying in this and you don't have to constantly worry about her health. Luis gets more screen time too, I think he might just be the best thing about the remake!!
Overall the remake is definitely worth playing for both new and returning players. However there's just something about the original that is just unbeatable.
