Fatal Frame II (PS2, 2003) is one of my favorite games of all time.

Fatal Frame II Remake (PS5, 2026) is not.

I loved it. But the shadow of the original in my mind is just too big. It does everything right: improves the combat systems, adds interesting collectibles, has better graphics. But I like the old camera system better, The ghost were more scary before. There were no unnecesary mechanics.

This remake is really good. Best way to experience the story of the Minakami Village. But I just like the original more. I know its my nostalgia speaking, but I don't care. I wish this was Fatal Frame VI instead.
