good, fun, atmospheric as all hell
points lost because of numerous quality of life issues, mid combat, and the less consistent quality of the areas outside spencer mansion (they're still good, but not AS good)
this game suffers from being compared to what came after--RE2R basically solves everything I DON'T like about this game so despite the fact that RE1 does some things really really well, it still lands at 7/10 for me
(EDIT: honestly, as I sit on this game, I think of it more and more positively--the atmosphere is fantastic, the story is fun, and the puzzles are interesting. it's getting a retroactive 8/10)
