I was born a year after this game came out, however after playing the remake as well as the remaster of the first game I knew I had to give this version a go as a way of paying respects to the classics. Can't really say I don't see where the magic comes from, the tension of having to go back and forth collecting pieces of the puzzles and never being too sure if that will do the trick, the brilliant use of so little ammo and healing items that make you feel only so powerful, and those goddamn nightmare inducing sewer spiders that I had no idea were even in the original until one started booking it right toward me. An absolute classic for many a reason, if you can ignore the PS1 graphics and at times cheesy dialogue, this is a must play for anyone into survival horror.
