I don't know if it's a me thing, but I find the remake way, way harder than the original. I've beaten both scenarios in the original but the increased enemy density + the crimsonheads' existence basically punishing you for defending yourself in narrow hallways where it can be a pain in the ass to dodge always puts me off before I can finish even one playthrough of REmake.
With a guide, this was a fun (if often tedious) game. It seems like it'd be a confusing and frustrating nightmare without one, though. The navigation, constant backtracking, and lack of clear objectives made this very difficult even when I was following walkthroughs. I tried to figure it out on my own and switched to guides a few hours in. I definitely would have given up if I didn't have those to follow. People who played this legitimately with no help must be really good at this style of game or have invested a crazy amount of time into memorizing the map and all that. It's very demanding. I'm glad to have played this, but it almost started to feel more like homework than a game at certain points. Still, it is visually appealing, atmospheric, spooky, and goofy enough to be worth playing at least once, no doubt.
