Not a masterpiece nor a classic by any means, but pretty fun RE spin-off, especially with a GunCon (or a Wiimote used as such in my case).

Writing and voice acting are bad, but hilarious in a RE1 way. The overall story concept is unironically cool for a horror though, I would like to see it done right in a proper remake.

The controls are clunky by today's standards, but manageable if you're generally used to retro games. The biggest issue is the lack of saves and limited continues - the game is short, yet still takes up to 3 hours if you don't rush, read files and watch cutscenes.
However, it lets you save your weapons and files between attempts - either after successful playthroughs or Game Overs. And there is a reason to replay the game - at many points you can take alternate paths and find specific files and weapons on each, I think it's pretty cool.

Although Resident Evil Survivor has nothing to offer the average modern gamer, it might be interesting for PS1 enthusiasts or Resident Evil completionists.
