My second repeat completion. By the end of this one, I'd safely say I played through RE1 close to twenty times. And still, I'd be willing to do it again. The puzzles, the ridiculous enemies, the campy story, its just all great. It's a classic, and you deserve to find out for yourself why.

100% Completion Notes: So nice I 100%-ed it twice.

Ahh, the beginnings of my favorite horror franchise. The first hours spent inside the puzzling Spencer Mansion are some of the best survival horror content in existence. Even though I have plenty of this franchise left to experience, it's reputation precedes it, and every entry I have played has completely hooked me. Even in this remaster, the graphics and gameplay show their age, but not so much to affect the overall experience. The cheesy dialogue and campy plot are counterbalanced by intriguing puzzles and genuinely tense moments to make an incredibly charming package.

100% Completion Notes: I've quickly realized that the Resident Evil achievement lists are some of my absolute favorites. Yes, it requires many, many playthroughs. But the challenge runs are so fun and varied, and the game itself so short, that this was a blast to complete.
