Revisiting this game after 2 decades and I gotta say: It holds up pretty well! Still a very tight, polished and charming experience for what it is. I might miss a lot of the additions from the sequels but it still works quite well in its simplicity.
But yeah, Chris's campaign is a bit rough. The extra number of enemies can get pretty annoying and having 2 less inventory slots doesn't really add challenge as much as it increases backtracking. Jill's campaign feels perfectly paced in comparison tbh
PS1 aesthetic obvs means this thing could never be nullified by any remake. honestly feels like a fairly distinct game to me overall. playing through with chris on arrange mode was a blast
yeah i love both and enjoy them for pretty different reasons, weirdly enough. the camp tone and retro aesthetics here create something so warm and comfy for me, while the remake has the better gameplay experience. i prefer this just a tad but i have reasons to play & appreciate both separately, which is my ideal scenario w/ any remake.
