If I had played this game when it came out I would have lost my mind at how great a game it was. I would also have a nervous breakdown because of the difficulty. Resident Evil Code: Veronica X is a game where you will feel the old-school Resident Evil challenge to your core. You can play it a little easier with emulators (Quick save-load), but if I had played it on a console, I would have gone crazy and couldn't finish it. It has very complex and well-thought-out puzzles and a map that can be considered really large (especially for the period it was released). We know the story and characters more or less from other games. Although the story takes place in a half-comedy, half-serious atmosphere that we can call many nonsense shitfests, as in the old Resident Evil games, Code Veronica actually has an important place in terms of the lore story. You can learn a lot about the founding families of Umbrella Corp., which form the cornerstones of lore. In terms of gameplay, the tank controls in the game, which provides perspectives from different fixed perspectives as in the old games, may be challenging especially for new generation players, so I cannot say that it is a game that can be easily played today. If you intend to play on the PC port, you can try the HD texture modes, or you can not bother and play the PlayStation 3 and XBOX 360 versions with better lighting and graphics. I chose to play the PlayStation 2 version with high-resolution textures and 2K resolution, and it wasn't a bad experience at all. As a result, if you like old-school Resident Evil games and are curious about the lore, I suggest you don't miss Code Veronica. But if you are a new generation gamer, and you like the new Resident Evil games but have never tried the old games, you can wait for a possible remake of this game.
