How it feels
A slow, tense scramble through a monster-filled mansion where every resource is precious and danger lurks around each corner.

What players say
Players prefer the original's eerie, silent atmosphere over the remake, calling it more unnerving and less bloated. The tank controls and fixed cameras are accepted as part of the charm, but some find the game too easy. The cheesy live-action cutscenes and dialogue are a highlight.
