I never had the chance to play a lot of the old Resident Evil games as I never had the systems they were released on, so all of my exposure of the old titles are through these remakes.

That said, I believe this is probably one of the best 'zombie games' ever made. It definitely has the best feeling zombies I've ever experienced in a game, constantly a little off balance, small bursts of speed when they're close, always menacing you through boarded up windows. The way they move and interact with eachother, especially when falling, is extremely satisfying. Watching zombies trip over their fallen hordemates will never get old.

The other enemies in the game are fantastic as well but I hesitate to go into them in case anyone who doesn't know much about Resident Evil reads this review.

The story feels more grounded than many other Resident Evil titles. That's not to say it's a grounded story, just on a scale of 1-10 of the crazyness, it's been brought down from a series-average 9 to about a 5.

With two distinct runthroughs of the game, a couple neat extra modes, a bunch of unlockables and free DLC coming in the near future, It's a pretty solid package.

My only gripe is that while the new voice actors are very good, I still wish we had Matthew Mercer and Alyson Court back as Leon and Claire respectively.
