I'm not sure how in the mood I'll be to make writeups tonight, but this one was already written, so I can at least post one game!

#87. Resident Evil (Gamecube, 2002)

I think this game is more well known than my last few, so I don't really need to explain what this is.



I didn't touch the Resident Evil series for a long time, and I'm not entirely sure why. At some point, I finally played Silent Hill, another series I went a while without experiencing, and decided I should try Resident Evil as well. I found a used copy of the GC REmake and gave it a shot. It definitely did not go well. I partly was frustrated that it wasn't the Silent Hill games I had just played, and partly got caught up in item management too much I was borderline trying to do a pacifist run to conserve all my ammo. The whole thing seemed dumb, so I set it aside for some later day.

Many years later, I remembered that this thing was still sitting on the shelf, so I started over and gave it another shot. I'm glad I did, because it turned into a great time. The mansion is a very fun setting to explore, and I liked when I went back through areas which were a little altered or had a different feel due to previous actions. It also turned out to be a little more like Silent Hill than I first realized, with oddly obtuse puzzles, tanky controls, and lots of narrow passageways to contend with, which are all of course pleasant things.

I still haven't played any other RE games, but one day. I've got a copy of RE2 and 4 now for when I get back to this series. Hopefully they are fun games too!
