I'd been wanting to get into Resident Evil franchise for a while. I gave it a chance with the remaster of the first videogame, and, although it was difficult to get into the story at first, I ended up liking it.
I don't know if it is because as we get older we become less intuitive and more lineal, but it was extremely difficult to get the first puzzles. I had to restart the story more than three times, and I carefully read all the documents because I felt I was missing something. Once you start solving puzzles and getting the idea of what is going on, it becomes more friendly. Yet, let me tell you all that the camera is a kick in the ass :D
If you haven't played the original games, I think this remake is a piece of justice to the franchise, so maybe you should give it a try. Yet, I maintain my point that the fixed camera is terrible (the other remakes in the franchise fix this problem with a dynamic camera) and that it isn't exactly intuitive at first (maybe you should consult a spoiler-free guide to get oriented in the first part of the gameplay)
All in all, considering story and gameplay, it is a good pass. This provides you with the necessary lore to continue with the other videogames in the franchise. Videogames which dealt correclty with the already mentioned problems in this release. 7.5/10
