A superb, faithful sci-fi horror remake with great atmosphere, sound and combat, but the PC port's traversal stutter is a real issue. Skip if stutter ruins immersion for you or you dislike backtracking.
Great for
Survival horror fans who like tense atmosphere, dismemberment combat, and a faithful modernized remake
Main risk
Persistent traversal stutter and freezes on PC that settings and patches don't fix
