When I played the original back on PS3, I would definitely say it’s that good. To me, it did feel like it was the game making the generational leap. It’s not so noticeable these days now that technology and game design has advanced so much, but my first playthrough was wonderful.
As a note: I haven’t played the sequels, the remasters on modern consoles, or watched the TV show.
The second game is arguably even better than the first. The story telling made me care about someone I did not think I would care about. Highly recommend you give it a playthrough!
It’s pretty hilarious to me the mental gymnastics some people will go through to refuse to admit that the gameplay is hugely improved in the sequel just because they don’t like one thing that happened in the story.
I didn’t get from OPs comment that they didn’t play the second one for any particular reason. They didn’t really add any qualifiers as to why they didn’t play it.
I played it about a year ago. I was pleasantly surprised. It’s very well-done for it’s time. It’s a bit dated now but not in a bad way. I’d recommend it if you like horror and/or adventure games.
I think it depends a lot on how much you like serious stories in your video games. I prefer lighthearted games so I didn’t even make it through the first one, but my best friend loves them.
Was it really that good? It was just jump scares and ego-gun-tripping…mixed with decent voice acting…

Yes.
