The game is gorgeous as hell and the character designs are top tier, that part I absolutely loved. The fanservice is a sprinkled across the game and it is a nice treat. There are two scenarios: Momohime and Kisuke. Kisuke’s route and bosses are an absolute blast and way more fun to play through.
The highlight is the gameplay loop and the battle mechanics, it consists of fighting, acquiring new swords and trying them out in fights. With 3 sword at the same type you can create some creative combos, however that is locked behind a skilll tree and a bit of a grind which turned me off a bit despite being a rather easy grind if you have patience. The maps though get repetitive quite quickly and don't benefit the gameplay in anyway I could think of.
Quite nice experience overall.

Here comes the "unc criticism" because I "grew up with the original". The movement inertia sucks, walking segments are whatever, and the shooting feels trashy and inconsistent. If you’re gonna do this kind of system at least give me some way to raise accuracy properly. I used mods for Ada and Ashley’s clothes because the default ones are awful. Japanese voices are amazing though.
The village is genuinely better looking, but overall level design got nerfed hard in the remade sections and crowd control is way worse even on the original sections. This remake doesn’t replace the original at all, feels like another TLOU-style coat on RE4. I would however live if I said I didn't have some fun in parts like the minecart chase and the final sections of the island.
Felt sluggish and annoying most of the time.

I had more fun with this than the previous one. The setting is really nice to get lost in and explore. Grinding feels much less frustrating now so you can actually wander around. I didn’t love the two castles idea but it does stretch the game out in a proper way. Bosses are pretty easy though, barely felt challenged. What kept me going was the routing and backtracking. Solid atmosphere and exploration.
