A very frustrating game but also one with a lot to appreciate. This was such a groundbreaking release when it came out but nowadays there’s definitely limitations with the gameplay. I felt a lot more restrained than RE0 and it was a lot more challenging figuring out where to go next. What this game does do great is that atmosphere and introducing this world very well. It’s such an intricately designed game that I just have to respect what they were going for.

My lovely girlfriend has gotten me into Resident Evil and I’m going through the games chronologically so naturally this was my starting point. I really love how atmospheric it can get and these early titles really used the fixed camera angles to up the suspension and claustrophobia. I also thought the gameplay of switching between Rebecca and Billy led to some fun puzzle mechanics and challenges. This game does feel like it needs a lot more in the story department though. You don’t get to learn a lot about your leads and I feel like this game just serves to fill in some gaps for RE1. Pretty solid prequel but definitely doesn’t feel like a necessary one.
