I found the first few runs can be a bit difficult because it can be stingy with ammo early on (Something other Resident Evil games don't do), and about halfway through the difficulty spikes quite a bit when you return to the mansion the second time. Unless you are following a guide, no shame in restarting if you are feeling stuck and using your lessons learned to try again. I feel like the game expects you to retry it multiple times and the remake didn't change that one bit.

This but that's what I liked about it, although unlike alot of other games especially nowadays you arn't restarting a 50+ hour game, if you remember what to do you can easily get back to where you were in one or two decent length play sessions.

Also if you're using modern controls you can juke the zombies fairly easily.
Some other tips:

Aim up when you're using the shotgun because it's the only way to get a headshot with that gun. After awhile you should just stockpile it's ammo so you can switch to using it primarily in the second half of the game.
Always burn zombies with the Lighter+ Kerosene in high traffic areas
