This game is what other developers should aspire to when creating a remake. It is hands down the best remake I have ever played.

I remember getting this game for my birthday in third grade and my little brother watched me play for what felt like an eternity. That sparked my brothers' obsession with the resident evil franchise. I, however, did not play much of the following titles in the series. I would watch him here and there and watched the movies. I ended up getting an Xbox and Halo was my obsession. With the remake of the third one and RE: Village on the way I figured it was finally time for me to really wet my whistle with what Capcom has to offer.

This game is by far more terrifying than anything I remember playing in third grade. Parts in the original that have been implanted into my cerebral cortex out of sheer terror back then have now manifested themselves into brand new nightmares thanks to the modern revamp of the games engine with the graphics being some of the most realistic horrors I've seen even in Hollywood movies. I'm on my third or fourth playthrough and I still scream like a little girl at parts. The game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ terrifying. Between lickers popping out of vents, the 15-foot terminator known as Mr. X chasing you all over the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ place, zombies behind doors, in lockers to WHATEVER THE HELL those things in the sewers are... it's enough to give you a glimpse into quite possibly, what Hell is.

Iconic cutscenes, boss introductions, and other favoritable parts have been altered or changed in a way that keeps the game fresh but still so grounded to its core roots. Giving new players a great and new experience while giving the veteran players something to smile at in nostalgia.

Perhaps one of my favorite things in this game is the dismemberment. Really gives you that dead space sense of cutting your enemies down to a meat sack of nothing before pumping a few more rounds into their heads to make sure they're not getting back up.

The only thing I wish this game had was more content. Yes, I know there are bonus missions but that still is not enough. I just want more. Sadly, the RE3 remake ain't it. I'll review that later :/

tl;dr 10/10

I tried and i just can't get into it. The characters, dialog, writing, the clear pushed/forced agenda. It's not for me and it's pretty disgraceful they chose the dragon age series to try and cater to a completely different audience and new generation rather than respecting the fans who have been playing since Origins.

the backlash is so bad that the lead on mass effect 5 had to announce they will not be going in the direction dragon age went. I never really played the mass effect series before but the legendary edition was on sale for 9 bucks and holy moly, who would have believed it? characters, writing, dialog, everything except graphics are so much better. Silver lining I guess.

It would also seem that it's a more difficult take to remaster the DA series because it was done on the Eclipse engine and barely anyone at Bioware still knows how to even use it. ME was done on Unreal so it was easier to remaster. One can only hope however that one day, we can play a more modern Dragon Age Origins.
