I just wish it wasn't so short! 4-5 hours goes by too quick. Even the easier Resident Evils usually last you about 8, maybe more if you stink at em. fortunately bought this on sale. pretty good all around. story wise was very well done. I am a sucker for the fixed camera angles in horror games but the controls are pretty comfy with a controller. Mouse and keyboard not so much, but that added difficulty might increase your challenge and runtime so consider that.
The pacing of the charming and engaging story is held back by poor puzzles that are too obtuse. There are multiple parts where it is unclear that what you are supposed to click on is even an interactable element of the background, so you might even have the right idea to solve a situation but be floundering to even accomplish it. Many times the solution could have been solved in a creative way too but ends up being a very mundane, lame answer. The game also recycles locations near the end which isn't so bad, but the creativity in both scenarios and especially puzzles runs out of steam as it goes on. The remaster should have given a reasonable hint system to smooth this over, but instead on launch it only provided glitches. These have mostly been fixed as of writing this, but I remember being stuck in the forklift elevator section on my prior playthrough years ago. The original game's visuals which are a toggleable option still hold up fine anyway and are impressive. Overall a good game, but just use a guide when stuck. There's no satisfaction to some of these for how long it takes to figure something dumb out, if you don't just flat out give up.
game crashes with grass on and sometimes on startup/FMVs loading from GOG. this isn't news because this kinda stuff happened on old comps back in the day but I thought that'd be fixed. The game itself has aged pretty well, although the story can be very corny at times and is far more black and white than what I consider it's superior sequel. still blows away most RPGs and anything star wars related for the last 2 decades, great stuff
