I know for some this is a very conflicting remake, but personally speaking this is a great remake of an already great game. Obviously theres been a major improvement graphically and the ray tracing is especially astounding, and the atmosphere is bone chilling at times both visually and sound wise with most areas having an eerie ambiance. And graphics aside the gameplay was also executed very well with the length of each area and expanded upon curtain puzzles in the original. Enemies are also more difficult with them being more aggressive and harder to run past and pose more of a threat than they did in the original, and bosses have been majorly improved with some of them even having multiple phases. And not an unpopular opinion the story and characters are top tier and is one of few exceptions of media being able handle heavy topics without it feeling disrespectful or shoe-horned in, and the VA's are also really good at acting as these character's and do them justice for the most part.
However, this is in no way a completely perfect game. Although the main areas are a lot larger than the original it can sometimes feel like it drags a bit to long with a prime example being the hospital and its many padlock puzzles. And although enemies are more threatening the combat itself isn't anything to right home about and gets tedious after a bit. And the VA's are great as I said earlier but some lines were delivered better in the original SH2.
Overall it is in no means perfect and honestly I think the original is a tad bit better In my opinion, but I don't think it devalues the game in anyway. It has a ton of improvements with the gameplay, has great visuals, is immersive, has gripping story carrying the story beats of the original extremely well and is a great game in general which I think many people would enjoy.
9/10 definitely worth playing through.
