When I was younger, I remember simply not being interested in this game. I think I assumed it was developed in a smaller scope than the previous. "How good can it be? It's only 1 disc!"

It wouldn't be until years after playing RE4 that I gave this game a fair shake, and it was great! I loved exploring the maze-like city, and their premium on action (perhaps even more than RE2) while keeping the survival horror aspects encased made for a really enjoyable experience. I also really liked Nemesis as this stalking enemy throughout as well!

All of this layered with an interesting enough narrative that calls for decision-making that can drastically change the story is also really impressive! Something that, sadly, they never really went back to. Not even the underwhelming remake to this game.
