Resident Evil HD Remaster is the ultimate version of the Resident Evil remake and it still looks just as amazing as it did back when the original game first released.

It's clear from the start that, without a doubt, this is the best version of Resident Evil out there. While some of the game's legacy design choices may be hard to stomach in 2015, Capcom has ensured this gothic horror adventure is more approachable than ever before.

Resident Evil Remaster doesn't add anything to the original game hence it does not pervert it. Pure and true horror at its best with updated graphics, the game is the best way for the new generation of gamers to discover the genesis of survival horror games.

Resident Evil still holds up after 13 years as a masterclass in survival horror, this HD remaster making it utterly essential once more.

Exactly what we expected from this remake: fans will find in it all the elements that made it a cult game in a new shiny 1080p guise, while who never played it will finally know what all the fuss is about as long as they're willing to forgive some stiff controls.

As a remaster it's not as polished - graphically - as it should be, but it still proves that the core mechanics of Resident Evil as thrilling as they ever were. [Issue#121, p.81]

After almost 20 years the first Resident Evil is still a masterpiece, and a must-have for everyone that likes a really good survival horror. However, Capcom could have put more energy into this remake, especially into the backgrounds and into some horrible looking cut scenes.
