A Survival Horror Must-Play
By now, I'm sure everyone has at least heard of Resident Evil. And if you've gone your whole life without PLAYING the original Resident Evil, you deserve to at least try it. I've grown tired of the talking point, "This game has aged poorly!" And I feel Resident Evil is a good example as to why that mindset should go extinct. This, by all accounts, is a phenomenally designed game. It set the foundation for a genre where every major release contains its DNA, which is nearly unheard of in the games industry. All the "survival horror" tropes are established here, and they're outright necessary for a survival horror to work. Enemies are obstacles to be avoided or fought at your own risk, saves are hard to come by, ammo and health is in limited supply, and the scares come from the game's awareness of your perspective. To put it simply, you could learn all you need to know about how to make a great survival horror game from playing this. However, it's important to note that the voice acting is terrible and the presentation (live action and CGI cutscenes) is cheesy... and yet that makes it perfect. This game's a playable b-movie, set in a mansion that's the central character. The fact that you can be genuinely horrified and unsettled by an exceptionally written note (itchy tasty) which you'll find about an hour after you're called a Jill Sandwich is an impressive feat. When I was a freshman in high school I booted up Resident Evil for the first time, and laughed at how old looking and playing it was. In my defense, it was 2012. But now, I can boot up this game and admire the craftsmanship behind it... like a classic book, you can feel the history being made with each scare and jolt of action. Treat yourself to a masterpiece.

Resident Evil Review
I, personally, am a fan so far. The only things giving me any real trouble is the fact that i have to use tank controls but thats how the game was made and it's really just a problem on my part. I'm just glad that I was finally able to find a virus free copy of this game that can be played on PC
