officially i give this an 8.5/10 which is more like 4.25 stars but whatever.

it contains pretty much all the base ideas later games in the series had (and maybe a few more). a bit dumber than SH2 in terms of story but also maybe a bit scarier. some very stupid sewer sections and you have to do optional bullshit you can easily miss to get the good ending. i hate running away from pterodactyls and hopping humper guys. still impressive everything they managed to accomplish with a PS1 game though
