Decepcionante. El movimiento se siente peor que en el 3 y los enemigos (sobre todo algunos bosses) se mueven a velocidades irreaccionables para el control tanque que presenta el juego. Te dan una cantidad enorme de objetos clave para puzzles de golpe y no sabes hacia dónde ir y cuáles llevar en casi todo momento. El escenario es poco conexo (cosa que sí hacía muy bien en el 1 en la mansión Spencer) y te hace dar muchísimas vueltas, eso relacionado con la horrible disposición de baúles, provoca que te tires mucho tiempo de juego dando vueltas. Los objetos clave te los dan antes de enseñarte los puzzles o problemas, por lo que es un lío total. No hay ni un boss que sea mínimamente interactivo, todo es disparar estando quieto prácticamente porque el espacio es nulo y muchas veces se siente injusto, incluso hay un "boss" en el que es muy fácil que te quedes softlockeado. La mayoría de personajes se comportan como si fuese tontos, y Steve.

Quando eu era criança lembro que não conseguia passar do primeiro puzzle do jogo. Joguei o início dele milhares de vezes, mas nunca conseguia ir além daquele maldito detector de metais. Hoje, já adulto, consegui terminar pela primeira vez essa maravilhosa obra.

Confesso que não é o meu favorito da era clássica de Resident Evil — ainda prefiro o remake do primeiro e o zero — mas consegui criar um carinho especial por ele mesmo tanto tempo depois.

Eventualmente vou querer rejogá-lo e talvez, com o tempo, ele suba ainda mais no meu conceito.

I LOVE this game! Claire and Steve (RIP) have an awesome dynamic and Alfred Ashford?? Cross-dressing QUEEN. Love the whole messed up bioweapon twins plot, the music box, secret attic with toys and a freakin' carousel?! That’s some evil bourgeoisie magic right there. It does drag a little though like i was wondering when it was going to end despite not wanting it to end at the same time. And WESKER!! My man pops up, beats the crap out of Claire and Chris only to disappear and reappear again like the enigmatic baddie he is.

It's been 6 years since my last RE (Revelations 2) and in 2022 I decide that the time has come for me to give RE series a try. Here you may ask - why I started with this one? Well the reason is my main problem with this game. From what I understand If you leave in Europe you can buy a game, but it would be 20% slower than American version, so as a digital only release I wanted to get rid of the game that is on a separate account and then get to those that are on main. As a newbie Enjoyer what I get that this was the peak of the series in the time of release, upgraded gameplay, great visuals, real 3D, consistent story, decent characters, one of the best OST I heard in the series, okay enemies, interesting puzzles. But all of that does not hold up that well now. The tank controls, the slow button initiated step movement, long location transfer animations. Out of all RE games now - this one needs remake the most.
Platinum/100%: first of all American version is a must, the game must be finished in 4,5 hours for a rank (which is harder when you are 20% slower), no saves (in fact one between "disc 1 and 2"), and some additional side activities must be done for A rank. I made a mistake, and did all on my first run. So I did not have time to fully explore the game. Would not recommend that. After that several side battle mode runs, a rank for each character (5 total), 3 of them (Alaire, Claire Alt and Chrie) are extremely low on time (16 rooms in 5.30- 6 minutes (so American version), Steve is quite easy if you master the headshot, and Wesker is luck based, and depends if you get a Magnum in one of the rooms or not.
To sum it up: great game that does not hold up that well. Recommend only if you a fan of older parts, or want to experience full story (like me). Otherwise I think it's better to wait for remake (because it is a mistake not to make one).
