This is a great game, A worth the while buy.
There is some downsides for original fans and lore followers of the RE universe.

RE2 cannon route of Claire A-Leon B is not really part of this game it takes from Leon A-Claire B (For those that do not know check out the old game and give a taste or watch a play through of the story) Due to this there is allot of plot holes and continuity errors.

Leon has lost his potency from the 1998 version as he now has "Lost Puppy" and "Clueless dork syndrome" The game does take itself too serious unlike the 1998 version meaning they are straight facing a scenario that is not probable on many level (We as fans love these games usually even for their campyness including lines like Jill Sandwich from the RE1 title)

Claire is fine, nothing wrong with her personality wise though she is a bit sweary.

I give the game a rating of
Lore: 4/10
(This game should not be taken as cannon truthfully it's a plot hole living and has many issues with what we know of the RE universe. Though it gets a point for not putting a laser grid kill room)
Characters: 6/10
(Most of this belongs to Leon being downgraded, And a few...lost scenarios worth of it's elder 1998 version)
Gameplay: 8/10
(The game play is fairly smooth, there is very few hiccups in mechanics)
Graphics: 9/10
(Wonderful graphics for the game and tweaking options for such and can work on weaker end machines)
Difficulty: 7/10
(This game can get harsh but for most part it follows the rules of a survival horror for most cases)
Unfairs: 3/10
(It has a few moment of unfair mechanics which really starts to dreg on harder playthroughs)
Options/HUD: 9/10
(This gets UI right, well organized very few issues with it. Only few glimmerances of annoying UI/Options but it's smooth for 98% of the time of it)
Opinion Score: 7/10
(My personal opinion gather up, it's worth the buy and enjoyment but I recommend sticking to standard most part for fun. The game has drastic spikes and if you are not Lucky/Know what you are doing you'll end up suck in a hole and feel like quitting. Hardcore will do this to you...and worse yet to get the Top end goodies you have to beat the game on 2h 30m for A routes or 2h for B routes...while the enemy remains on 1-2 hits you're dead (better master the Knife and have Infinite Knife)

I hope this info helps. I recommend guides and don't feel bad about looking up info in the end.
