A true classic

I'm a huge RE fan, specially the original Playstation trilogy. I did not play the gamecube remake so this PC version was my first time seeing the original in HD. The OG was my first horror game, I remember how difficult it was for me to play it as kid. One of the first games to really get my attention with its story and characters, to make me care about what’s going on.


The first one remains my favorite in the entire series and this HD Remake just nails it, makes it even better. The things that made me fall in love with the game, the eerie location, the uncanny feeling when you’re exploring the mansion, the characters with hidden stories and agenda, the conspiracy, the creepy notes, they’re are all here and improved. The dialogue is still corny, the camera fixed and the controls clunky, but that’s part of this game’s essence, so to me it’s a plus.


I feel like I have to write a paragraph to one of the things that makes this game so special to me and that’s Jill Valentine. I fell in love with her the first time I played and I still am. She’s in my top 3 favorite female characters of all time, to witness her glory in 1080p was awesome, Julia Voth is a phenomenal model, they really did her justice keeping the costumes and the attitude.


That’s the thing that makes this so great, they remade it but kept most things untouched, changed some dialogues, added some new side stories and stuff that expands the lore, but they did not try to follow an agenda, shove DLCs in it, change the story or add a pointless mp mode. The game still hits the same, it’s faithful to the original, the things we loved that stayed with us back then are still here and I appreciate it.



This game will always hold a very special place in my heart.
