Good production values and an honestly pretty solid Gameboy reinterpretation of the classic RE gameplay had me initially thinking "hey, this isn't so bad! Maybe all the negativity is more a product of reputation than the actual game itself".

Unfortunately I kept playing the game, and it really tanks once you start revisiting areas and the zombies keep respawning. The whole classic-style Resident Evil foundation crumbles when route-planning loses its prominence to this extent. It's always better to try and avoid wasting ammo on zombies in this game; whether you kill them or not, there's probably gonna be a zombie there when you return.

Other aspects display a lack of character, without any charming keys or puzzles to speak of. Setting, story, music... Nothing stands out as particularly noteworthy.

Honestly I kind of hated this, which is a shame because it does feel plucky at first. But its such a pain in the ass, and offers so little in return, by the end that pluckiness feels like a distant memory.

Hm....
Personally, I think games should be more obtuse.
I mean this genuinely.

I didn't press F1 until hour 10 and realize that I can use skills on things. This was awesome.
That item on the ground? Personally I don't want it to be distinguishable from the background to any degree.
A timer marking my imminent loss causing anxiety anytime I waste time? This is awesome. Your daughter is kidnapped? Sorry bro - I got shit to do.
Peak obtuseness was me realizing that reading a book and failing a repair passed like 12 hours of time. At this point the radx I took started to wear off (the radiation system is also obtuse and awesome), and my character casually remarks that their hair is falling out and their body is hemorrhaging.

I go back to a certain area after a certain amount of time passes... OOPS! Gorsh, golly!
>I beat the game but I took a little bit too long
A GA A HORSH
You specced 1 intelligence and 1 agility ? ? That's real.

Half the settlements don't know a single thing about each other, aside from traders. This weird separation combines with how desolate the wasteland actually is, is super good.
My favorite example of this is every settlement acting like you're an insane child for believing in Deathclaws. Meanwhile, in a certain settlement, the citizens are like "Deathclaws? points they're over there. We can't go over there any more because of thems. We hired guards to stop them from MAIMING us"

Ok final thought - the Mutant threat? Awesome. Mutants one hit killing me? Awesome. A mutant escorting me to an end game location, only to either have me instant game over or beat me within an inch of my life, lock me up, and take all my items? These things are awesome. Didn't save recently? you're an imbecile.
