After playing most of the Resident Evil series, it was so fascinating to come back to the game that started it all (or rather, the remaster of the game that started it all). I was pleasantly surprised at how this game holds up. Yes, there are some dated design decisions that maybe don't lend to a smooth gameplay experience such as the tiny inventory size, frequent backtracking, and often awkward camera angles, but these all ended up lending to the game's charm in my experience. I'm now even more interested in playing the game in its truly original form, tank controls and all.
