Is the gameplay any good?

[Derivat949]

I'm interested in this game, but I already know the story of SH2, so while I'd probably still enjoy the story beats and atmosphere what really would make me feel like I got my money's worth would be decent gameplay that won't get old too quick over 2-3 playthroughs. I quite enjoyed all the modern RE titles, Dead Space 1 (original and remake) and 2 as well as The Evil Within 1 and 2.
In you guys opinion, could I get something similar out of this remake or should I wait for a sale?

No, it's a soulles demake. Look at Manria and Mangela. Nothing else needs to be said.

Gameplay is similar to RE. I'm having a fun time.

Bloober Team aren't known for combat in games as most of their previous games were walking sims. But the combat does feel the same as the original version with the same weapons, but there is dodging and aiming, and most enemies have better AI than the original to make encounters more interesting. The action is pretty basic though but still fun imo. The game really has the same feel as the original. I've been playing the OG version on my PS2 off and on the last couple of weeks, and If you liked it back then you'll probably like the remake.

It has Callisto Protocol + Silent Hill Homecoming gameplay... people destroyed those games for their gameplay yet this one gets praised for it and for being a "mid" action game that doesn't even feel like playing a Silent Hill videogame lol, the hypocrisy - game isn't bad but not even great, that's why i used the term "mid".

Well, if you like Resident Evil

Homecoming would've been okay if the lock-on didn't suck. But it sucked hardcore and made combat more frustrating than it needed to be, both melee and ranged. The limit on ammo was BS, too.

Melee in Remake is good. It's not amazing like Leon S. Kennedy round-house kicking and suplexing ganados, but it feels weighty and impactful, and I never really got tired of it.

As someone who also plays the Resident Evil, Dead Space and Evil Within games I'm having a good time. The combat system is fine. The puzzles are slowing me down a bit this time around. I don't remember them being quite this intense in the O.G. but the suspense is great. I've openly screamed more than once. Great survival horror vibes.

This remake is fine, and if you compare the gameplay to the original you can't deny it is much better! Unless you are being a blatant troll.

The story remains faithful tot he OG game and that is what counts.

Some models and re done scenes were not enough to irritate me. The game is good and worth at least sales price if you are on the fence about a legit purchase.

Except the bad reviews of TCP were primarily before the major patching that made it much more playable. Since then it's been mostly positive reviews. Also, TCP melee system is far simpler and easier, in SH2R it is far less predictable. Where there's lots of enemies in TCP, like the Blind in Below, it's easy to sneak kill them. In SH2R nowhere is it easy to sneak attack them.

I've played a ton of horror games of various types, but this is one of the better ones. It doesn't hold your hand, yet it gives you a decent challenge. It also has loads of atmosphere and is genuinely suspenseful and has enough to scare most I think. Both sound and visual effects are top notch.

The gameplay is where it shines most though, especially the enemies. Some of the puzzles might seem a bit tedious, especially those with scribbling that's hard to read, but there's a lot of good ones that will make you think and are very rewarding to solve.

Maybe I've been spoiled by horror games like Amnesia, but I feel like I initially liked the soundtrack very much, and it added much needed suspense and horror to the environment and atmosphere, the actual melee or gunplay immediately took me out of it. I know, I know, no one wants it to be walking sim or having to hide, but I rarely feel like I'm struggling to defend myself or actually get scared. I guess it's because it's technically "survival horror", not "horror horror".

You're NOT a defenseless amnesiac with a fear of darkness, but apparently a strong willed individual who had the capacity to kill before. Still, maybe I set my expectations too high, but I find the puzzles more annoying at this point than the combat. Although if it was strictly puzzles, maybe it wouldn't be as annoying. Especially if solving said puzzles has some pressure tied to it (you're defenseless and your enemies actively prowl the area in search of you).

honestly just emulate the original
