I never played the original, but as it’s on Gamepass via EA play decided to give it a go. It got me hooked immediately and found it hard to put down. Never got boring. It was too difficult for me on normal, easy was better for me. Hopefully they will remake 2 and 3 as well. I enjoy good graphics so not sure I enjoy the originals.
I play the original every couple of years. It still gives great scares even all these years later, but I definitely plan to get the remake when it comes down to sale prices in a year or two.
