in the past


Playing this as my second Resident Evil, shortly after RE4, I was confused and disappointed. Even though this was a remake of the original game, the controls still felt like a mess. Where was the action? Over time I've come to appreciate the older games in the series for what they are now, so this one feels ripe for a replay and reassessment soon.

Gold standard for remakes as far as I'm concerned. At least those that seek to elevate the original vision of a game.

Not a huge fan of actually playing the older Resident Evil games but I do love the hokey dialogue. I mostly played this when I wanted to show off how amazing it looked (especially on my wee CRT).

Probably my favorite Resident Evil Ive played (havent played RE2 or 3 remakes as of this review). Has a solid survival horror game series and puzzles with action.


Improves upon the already amazing original in multiple ways and still holds up very very well. Overall an excellent remake of the first Resident Evil.

It's a really solid game, and while I really don't think it replaces the original (they set out to do and accomplish different things), if prompted between only playing one of the two games, I would have to choose this one. That being said, the back half of this game still sucks ass and is dragged out even longer here, so Mikami looses a star for that.

Es una experiencia que se debe de probar si o si, lo único que si no me gusto pero no quita que sea literalmente muy bueno es que las animaciones del Director's Cut tenga mejores animaciones que en el Remake

Best Survival-Horror Game of All Time

Ich kaufte mir den Gamecube kurz vor dem Release von Resident Evil 4, und nahm das Remake des ersten Teils als mein erstes Spiel für den Cube mit nach Hause. Ich wollte es erleben, aber mich gleichzeitig nicht von den wenigen Speichermöglichkeiten und der Munitionsknappheit verunsichern lassen, und druckte mir einen sehr gut geschriebenen Guide für das Spiel aus.
Für damalige Verhältnisse war das in jedem Falle eine gute Entscheidung gewesen, aber mittlerweile kann ich diese Art von Steuerung nicht mehr ausstehen. Daher bin ich auch sehr froh, dass die Teile 2 und 3 mittlerweile als sehr viel bessere Remakes umgesetzt wurden.


For my first experience with the series, REmake 1 leaves an incredible first impression. I never expected to feel the amount of tension in games that I did with this one. With how the controls are clunky, the zombies AREN'T mere fodder for you to blast through and instead are carefully-placed obstacles that you need to make the decision on whether or not they are worth spending valuable ammunition on or if you can consistently juke away from them without needing to expend anything, the game has this overarching feeling of fear all throughout. And not the dehabiliating "cry in the corner and go pick something else" feeling of fear, but more an adrenaline rush that compels you to stay on your toes at all times. For that reason, this game is definitely something you've gotta check out even if you aren't a big horror fan and is one of my favorite entries in the whole series.

This game captivated me with it's atmosphere and art direction. It's really tense and quite terrifying at times. The pre-rendered backgrounds and set camera angles really do the job. The music and sound design are wonderful too. That being said, I really don't like metroidvanias. I get their appeal, but they don't work for me. Running around, getting lost, missing crucial things, revisiting the same locations over and over again - not really my thing. Once I started using a guide I started to have much more fun, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I'm missing part of the experience by doing that. Hence the 3.5 star rating.

I have no idea what to rate this, because I feel like rating it as its aged to sin is not reflective of the experience I had, but rating it as I have it now would not reflect how... unfortunate the gameplay has gotten. Play without the tank controls in the modern versions and the game is way too easy, but they are hell to use. And the constant, CONSTANT door loading screens after the trick has worn off. I don't know. I loved it. I don't love it anymore, but think it's cool. Idk.

Absolute classic. What every remake wishes it was.

Liked it a lot more than I had expected. Was never really all that into horror games (most of my exposure to the genre prior was just ammo for loud YouTube people at the time) but I really enjoy the exploration aspect of this game. The whole mansion has a satisfying flow to it that fits well with the whole theme of just unfolding the mystery behind it all.

Peguei o jogo e joguei um pouco, achei bem meh mais talvez eu volte

Pra mim o melhor e mais perfeito Resident Evil, esse jogo tem tudo o que um survival horror precisa.

A really amazing remake and doesn't make the old version any less worth playing. All of the new they added without taking away is really amazing to see and the visuals are amazing to behold.

Something you could go back to time and time again because it's also not very long either. Makes going through a new game fun every time just to see how fast you can beat it. Much like other games in the series more or less.

No fishing- but you do get to drain a big ass aquarium(?) and drain it so the shark and little sharks die without giving you an issue. Really missed the chance to have some fishing.

Um dos maiores clássicos de terror do entretenimento em geral

Im not sure what 13 year old me was on because for some reason I disliked game until recently when i decided to give it a shot again PEAK RESIDENT EVIL


História legal mas não consigo me adaptar com a gameplay

Used to be considered the best remake of all time. It's much harder than the original game, even in the "easy" difficulty. Weird puzzles and twisted logic all the way, but what an atmosphere.

I played a good amount of this one, but it really lost me in the later parts of the game. The game became too tedious and I dropped it because I wasn't enjoying it. The early part in the mansion was a lot of fun, but I stopped enjoying it after that. The puzzles became a little too obtuse and the combat isn't anything special. It's a really good game for its time but I don't know if I ever want to finish it.

really good. camera was hard to get used to but i'd say that's it. very entertaining. played on ps5
