Is it still worth playing?

Capcom's 2019 survival horror game, a remake of the 1998 game that reimagines its gameplay and story, for the PlayStation 4, Windows and Xbox One, built on the RE Engine. It is set in Raccoon City during a zombie apocalypse, and you choose Leon S. Kennedy or Claire Redfield, which changes weapons, areas, items, subplot, supporting characters and the final boss. You shoot from behind the character in full 3D, you can move while shooting, and standing still tightens the crosshair. The inventory has eight slots, expandable with hip pouches, and the map marks locked doors and the key each one needs. Played today it keeps the tension through scarcity: ammunition is short, zombies need their heads destroyed to stay down, and a first run takes about eight hours.
