I probably prefer the original game for its aesthetic which i found more scary but its hard to argue that this one does anything worse. The characters and writing are leagues above the original and the visuals outside of cutscenes are inspiring. The pacing starts very slowly but gets very good later. My only major gripe with the game was that some of the puzzles were unclear in the presentation so even though I already knew the right solution I had to keep trying. (the bomb disengage was one where I understood the solution immidiately but couldnt tell that I had to leave clear spaces, might just be a me problem though)
