This was the first game I ever got that was rated 15 and I had to beg my dad to buy it for me and then he did and then when he saw it he just laughed at it while I thought it was the best thing I'd ever seen.

Very janky and unpolished game in many ways, and although I would never recommend playing this over the remake, it still has a certain charm to it. From the creepy music and atmosphere, to the HILARIOUS dialogue and voice acting, it's just so... captivating, I guess.
I still hate the Ink Ribbon system though. Fuck that.

Never really been a fan of the first Resident Evil game. I appreciate both this and REmake and I believe are good games, but whenever I play I find it's too obtuse and never really enjoy my time with it. At first I thought it was the camera but after playing and enjoying RE2 and other older games with fixed-cameras it is just this game in particular. I played this with infinite ammo and health just to see what the experience would be like and see how far I could get, played for an hour but the thought of so much back-tracking and figuring out this game's puzzles just isn't something I want to do again.

A masterful puzzle box masquerading as the kind of shitty B-grade horror VHS weekly you'd find at your local video store as a kid. Amazing stuff.


i love her shes like a wife to me

One of my favorite PS1 games, I remember clearly when I first saw the PS1 in action, I went to the game rental store to rent a mega drive game and one guy was fighting the snake, that stuck with me and I knew I had to get a PS1! A played the hell out of this game!

Despite its antiquity, the game has been preserved quite well, not counting the controls and the fixed camera that makes your ass burn. That's all I wanted to say.

Несмотря на свою старину, игра довольно неплохо сохранилась, не считая управления и фиксированной камеры от которой горит жопа. У меня все.

resident evil (1996) é realmente mt bom mas eu gostaria mesmo era de ser amado

Resident Evil (1996) é um jogo do gênero ''Survivor Horror'' lançado nos anos 90 com duas campanhas parecidas, porém cada uma tem suas peculiaridades. Você pode controlar Jill Valentine ou Chris Redfield, Jill é o modo ''fácil'' e Chris o ''difícil'', enquanto Jill tem 6 slots em seu inventário, uma beretta e faca, Chris tem apenas 4 slots e sua fiel faca militar. No decorrer do jogo, jogando com Jill, você tem a ajuda de Barry Burton, e Chris passa a maior parte de sua campanha sozinho. Os gráficos são bons para a época, a atmosfera faz sua parte e a gameplay é ok, a atuação dos personagens são engraçadas, mas divertidas ao mesmo tempo, recomendo bastante o game.

Seria até injusto se eu comparar com o Remake, porque é uma melhora gigantesca em todos os sentidos, mas RE 1 original sem dúvidas tem seu mérito por atmosfera e sound design, além da mecânica de recursos escassos ser bem pensada, melhora o sentimento de suspense e claustrofobia que me causa, uma pena que o gameplay é bem arcaico e truncado, pouca responsividade e dificulta demais a sua progressão.

amazing game. nice atmosphere and pre-rendered backgrounds to set the mood, tense gameplay, and (fun for me) resource management. beautiful scenes in the courtyard.

Thinking back on it, this is one of very few games I can even still remember that I started playing when I was younger but just gave up on because it was too hard. It was probably some ten or so years ago that I tried playing the American Director’s Cut version of RE1, but I ended up giving up after being completely stonewalled by the first boss. Now admittedly, this game is a slightly easier version (it has auto-aim, enemies are a bit weaker, and you get 1 more ribbon per pile of ink ribbons), but I was definitely happy with how I was finally able to best a game that had stumped younger me (even it’s not exactly an all-time favorite). I wanted to play at least one spoopy game this October, and I ended up being able to beat this one in the one day I figured it’d take me. I even managed to play through the whole thing with the weird ASCII RE1 PS1 controller I got that inspired me to give this game another try in the first place x3. It took me about 10 or so hours (in-game time being just a hair under 8 hours) to beat the Japanese version of the game on real hardware, and I got the best ending with Jill.

Biohazard 1 is a well known story by now to pretty much anyone reading this review. After mysterious monster attacks in the rural American town of Raccoon City, the STARS special forces team is sent to investigate. After Bravo team mysteriously disappears, your unit is sent in after them, and they flee inside the mysterious Spencer Mansion to escape the monstrous dogs that attack them after their initial helicopter landing. It’s up to Jill (or Chris, if you decide to play his harder route), to explore the mansion and survive all of the monsters and zombies out to get them! It’s a cute story that’s aged pretty well. The English voice acting still has that campy fun, and it’s a delightful homage to old American horror B-movies. It’s hardly high art, of course, but it’s a fun story with twists and turns that accomplishes more or less exactly what it sets out to do.

Mechanically, it’s the dawn of survival horror as we know it so well today. Lots of pre-rendered environments for your character to run around in with their tank controls, clunky combat, inventory management, and puzzle solving. While the better auto-aim in this version definitely made the clunky combat a lot easier to bare (and the relative abundance of ammo and health making Jill’s route at least not too difficult overall if you play smartly), the inventory management absolutely did my head in XP. SO much walking back and forth between storage boxes and safe rooms, even with the enemies in the way taken care of, the loading screens between rooms (charming door opening effects or no) take up SUCH a significant amount of the playtime in RE1. It’s a remarkably good effort for a game effectively founding the genre it’s in, particularly in little way like the game telling you that you’ve opened every door a key can open (and giving you the opportunity to throw it away right then), but the at this point iconic inventory management system of this game is definitely as much of an obstacle as it ever was to playing it these days.

As far as its presentation goes, this game still looks quite nice for such an early (March ’96) PS1 game. The pre-rendered backgrounds look very nice, the character models are very expressive and well designed, and the monsters are really cool too. My only real complaint is that I wish interactable items were a bit better highlighted, as it’s a tad too easy to not realize the puzzle you’ve been stuck on for ages was all down to you not realizing you didn’t interact with a shelf in QUITE the right way to actually access what’s inside it. The sound design is also nice, with the music setting a really nice tone for the action at hand, whether that action is more spoopyful or action-y.

Verdict: Hesitantly Recommended. There is absolutely still fun to be had with these old PS1 survival horror games, but being a genre so in its infancy, there’s still a lot of crap to deal with just as a result of where gaming was at the time. If you’re ready to meet the game where it’s at and deal with its clunkyness, this is still a relatively easy experience still worth playing, but if you’re not ready for that, it’s probably better looking elsewhere for your horror games. While I didn’t dislike my time with Biohazard 1, I didn’t exactly love it either, and it’s not something I have a ton of willingness to run out and grab other entries in. I liked it okay for what it is, and you very well might do as well~.

- Great exploration aspect to the game, making a first playthrough feel like a maze.
- Classic voice acting.
- Two characters makes the game replayable, especially with the completion time aspect to it.

Resident Evil, lançado em 22 de março de 1996 pela Capcom, é um verdadeiro clássico do horror de sobrevivência que deixou uma marca indelével na indústria dos videogames. Com sua atmosfera tensa, enredo intrigante e jogabilidade desafiadora, o jogo estabeleceu os fundamentos do gênero e continua a ser reverenciado por fãs de horror até hoje.

Uma das maiores realizações de Resident Evil é sua capacidade de criar uma atmosfera de suspense e terror palpável. Ao explorar os corredores sombrios e claustrofóbicos da mansão assombrada, os jogadores são constantemente mantidos à beira do assento, nunca sabendo o que os espera na próxima esquina. Os sustos bem cronometrados e os encontros com inimigos grotescos contribuem para uma experiência intensamente imersiva e inquietante.

Além disso, Resident Evil introduziu muitos elementos que se tornaram padrão no gênero de horror de sobrevivência. Desde a gestão cuidadosa de recursos limitados até a resolução de quebra-cabeças ambientais para avançar na história, o jogo desafia os jogadores a pensar estrategicamente e agir com cautela em face do perigo constante.

No entanto, Resident Evil não está isento de críticas. Podemos encontrar frustração nas mecânicas de controle rígidas e nos ângulos de câmera fixos, que podem tornar a navegação pela mansão um tanto desajeitada em momentos. Além disso, o diálogo ocasionalmente exagerado e as dublagens questionáveis podem quebrar a imersão.

Apesar dessas pequenas falhas, Resident Evil permanece como um marco no mundo dos videogames, creditado por popularizar o gênero de horror de sobrevivência e influenciar inúmeras obras posteriores. Portanto, uma nota de 8/10 parece justa, reconhecendo suas contribuições significativas para a indústria e sua capacidade duradoura de assustar e intrigar jogadores ao longo dos anos.

My favorite ps1 game. Atleast for now, re2 will probably change that. The voice acting ensures that remake, while pretty much perfect, can never totally replace it

Играла ещё совсем мелкой. Почти ничего не помню кроме ужасного управления и того что мне было сложно. Знаю, игра культовая, но просто про эту часть мне сказать нечего

Honestly, despite having this listed as "played" this is actually my first time playing the original all the way through. I started on the remake and it's evidentially my all time favourite game so whenever I tried to replay this I was just like "why bother, this is just an inferior version of a game I already love?" But with an inching to replay the entire series (or at least every numbered game, remake, and CV/Revelations for good measure) I gave this a proper go, doing both Jill and Chris.

And look, I still prefer the remake by a longshot but it's also impossible not to appreciate this game for what it was, the start of it all. Everything great about Resi started here. The iconic Arkley Manor, the almost strategic survival gameplay, and the eerie atmosphere are all in tact. It's actually quite intriguing and fun to see all these well familiar elements in their most primal stages. And honestly, being so well versed with the remake it was kinda freshing to be thrown here and there with where their game deviates from the remake (well, more accurately how the remake deviates from this).

Tho, I would be lying if I said this game completely held up. The controls are as clunky as ever, the environments don't feel as fleshed out as even the original 2/3, and despite appreciating this game for what it is, it's hard to ignore there's a version of this game that does everything here 10 times better. But again, this is where it all started and you have to play this game in mind in order to fully appreciate it. I'm actually really glad I played through this one and fellow horror game fans should give this one a go too.

And yes, I didn't list the voice acting as a criticism because it truly makes the game. It's worth for Chris laughing at Wesker alone.

meio que inventou o survival horror near

El juego que disparó el entonces nuevo concepto de "survival horror" al mainstream en consolas. Anterior a Silent Hill y mas popúlar que Clock Tower.
Cada tanto siempre vuelvo a jugar a esta version de RE1, el ambiente, la atmosfera, los perros rompiendo las ventanas del pasillo...maldición, esto definitvamente es gaming.

Joguei muito no DS, referêncio ele até hoje nas minhas escritas de terror.

não lembro de ter zerado, só ter jogado, quando eu concluir dou meu veredito

with how many absolute donkey doodoo PS1 games there are, Resident Evil is a breathe of fresh air.


Played through this game recently and was surprised that, even though the environments are a little bland the game still has a lot of atmosphere and gameplay wise I found it mostly enjoyable as a big fan of classic survival horrors. Also giving bonus points for being a pioneer for the genre the original RE is a solid 8/10.
