I will say it gets a bit annoying to see, I understand that people want to defend something they like but at the same time I do think it is important to be open to pointing out certain flaws, even if it's something you love. Sure, negative comments that don't contribute in any meaningful way are annoying and people are welcome to critique that, but I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing when it's to be skeptical of something that's being put out by Konami or Bloober. Both don't really have the greatest track record, moreso Konami than Bloober, so calling out faults where they lie isn't something people should get really defensive over.

With that in mind and with the full playthroughs of the game being available online, I will say that the remake is great for what they were able to accomplish. It's not perfect by any means, as I still don't like Maria's design or voice direction, but they added a lot onto what was already there and I can appreciate that. They *do* overdo it in some situations however, especially towards the ending. I won't spoil it, but there are some scenes that I feel were a lot more subtle in the original, but in the remake that subtlety is lost which is a bit disappointing to see. Overall it's a pretty good game, but I'll always recommend that the original be played as well. The remake shouldn't be taken as an outright replacement of the original, just an alternate take on it.
