finally made an account and i'm really excited about it.
Anyway, i'm a relatively new RE fan. my first game was the RE2 remake in 2019 and i've loved the games since (for the most part). But i never got into this first game for reasons i'm sure all are aware of. i've started this game like 5 times before this playthrough, all of which ended before fighting the snake. but i'm so glad i finally stuck with this game because its actually really good.
its still not one of my favourites, im not a fan of the fixed camera angles or the doors taking forever to open, but my biggest issue with the game is the save system. every other issue with this game could be passable if it wasn't for the fact you have limited saves. i never even had a moments where i nearly ran out but the stress of that possibility was annoying enough to taint my enjoyment even if it was just a bit.
also, an issue that's in most of the survival horror RE games is the fact that the first area is the most fun to explore. I still enjoy the later parts of the games (in fact this one is probably the most solid in that regard) but all of them peak in the first section which isn't ideal.
TLDR: im glad i finally got through this one, i loved it, but i would probably prefer a remake in the RE2 style.
im probably gonna play the rest of the numbered RE games i like now.
