We have Resident Evil 2 Remake at home

I'm sorry but I found almost nothing redeemable about this game. I know it started off as a fan remake of RE2. I know it's from a small indie team. And I'd really like to talk positively about it since the team that made it is Italian like me, but I find it impossible to defend this game. Aesthetic: came out in 2019 but technically looks worse than games from 2009 with: ugly character models that look extremely fake, low detail textures and low quality visual effects. It has zero art direction, looks like an asset flip or a prototype. Gameplay: they write in the description of the game that it "recreates the mood of iconic titles from the '90s", but how is that? The game gives you tons of ammunition. There is zero tension built throughout the game. Exploration is minimal as most of the game is linear. There are a few puzzles that are either extremely simple, or confusing because they are explained badly. The only redeeming factor in the whole game is that the shooting is passable. It does its job. Too bad they had to include the annoying magazine mechanic (if you've really got to play this game, just play it in modern mode) and the real-time inventory menu that takes a whole 2 seconds every time you open it, ugh... Music: the game is silent most of the time, and for the rest the music is generic. Plot, lore, characters, dubbing: everything is really low-budget and low quality. It feels like the game was written by a teenager, with dudebro military stuff, lots of swearing and lots of pop culture references hidden in plain sight. The plot doesn't make much sense. They bore you to death with overly verbose logs that don't build much of a lore. Character interactions and dialogues are laughable at best. One of the characters has "horror visions" that look like they were inspired by those in the F.E.A.R. games, but I think they didn't understand what made the visions in those games really impactful. I usually like to distinguish between the quality of a game and its price, but I think that asking 30€ for this "game" is insane.
