My favorite game of all time. I've beaten this around 50 or so times, including 5 times in one day, I've owned it on pretty much every console and unlocked everything every time. Me and my Mum would play this back in the day so it holds a lot of nostalgia and sentimental value. This is peak survival horror and i will always come back to it. The music is up there with the very best in any game, adding to the already amazing atmosphere, the fixed camera angels make it even scarier when you don't know what's around the next frame. Limited inventory space makes it so you have to be methodical and plan out your next step before going out into unknown. The setting is really what makes this so special though, an abandoned mansion hiding a research facility in the middle of a secluded forest at night, with zombies, dogs, spiders and all sorts of horrors just waiting to pounce on you. It's a horror experience that has yet to be topped for me, and yes, while some of the dialogue is really, really bad, after all these years and many completions, It's almost like hearing an old friend when Barry speaks his many infamous words.
