An infuriating game with horrible design at a lot of parts. I'm a newer fan of the series after adoring the remakes of RE2 and RE3, as well as RE4 on Wii (currently playing the remake!). And yeah I agree with the tank control bad haha complaint 1000%. The greatest sin this game commits is the truly god awful and near impossible enemy placement and overall design. Vague puzzles, enemies that don't die, and VERY MINUTE health and ammo drops. I get this is a survival horror game but damn this is nearing more ammo-less run than it being a core part of the genre. It's only redeeming qualities and the reason why it's not absolute trash is that all the other aspects are great as you'd come to expect from a RE title. Spooks, decent story, atmosphere, etc. The game still looks very nice as its in that dope RE1 Remake engine. Also, I generally thought the two player back and forth was neat. It got really annoying though when the other was a liability because their health is on danger so you have to do a very difficult section twice. And for some benign reason, you both die if one does????! I maybe, MAYBE will come back to this to see out the story, using a thorough guide. But I'd have to suffer through the pile of trash that is, the game itself. I'd skip this one and just watch a lore video to be up to date with the timeline and story. 1.5 ★
