It's been 6 years since my last RE (Revelations 2) and in 2022 I decide that the time has come for me to give RE series a try. Here you may ask - why I started with this one? Well the reason is my main problem with this game. From what I understand If you leave in Europe you can buy a game, but it would be 20% slower than American version, so as a digital only release I wanted to get rid of the game that is on a separate account and then get to those that are on main. As a newbie Enjoyer what I get that this was the peak of the series in the time of release, upgraded gameplay, great visuals, real 3D, consistent story, decent characters, one of the best OST I heard in the series, okay enemies, interesting puzzles. But all of that does not hold up that well now. The tank controls, the slow button initiated step movement, long location transfer animations. Out of all RE games now - this one needs remake the most.
Platinum/100%: first of all American version is a must, the game must be finished in 4,5 hours for a rank (which is harder when you are 20% slower), no saves (in fact one between "disc 1 and 2"), and some additional side activities must be done for A rank. I made a mistake, and did all on my first run. So I did not have time to fully explore the game. Would not recommend that. After that several side battle mode runs, a rank for each character (5 total), 3 of them (Alaire, Claire Alt and Chrie) are extremely low on time (16 rooms in 5.30- 6 minutes (so American version), Steve is quite easy if you master the headshot, and Wesker is luck based, and depends if you get a Magnum in one of the rooms or not.
To sum it up: great game that does not hold up that well. Recommend only if you a fan of older parts, or want to experience full story (like me). Otherwise I think it's better to wait for remake (because it is a mistake not to make one).
