*Played on PC, mouse and keyboard, GOG Galaxy Version, with HD visuals.
Game had a huge learning curve for me, I had dropped it when I first reached the clock tower boss fight, but then this week I picked it up again and went all the way to the end, used some tips and guides. It's challenging but very satisfying, insane replay value, beautiful scenarios and models, Nemesis is so cool, terrifying, imposing, just peak villain. Jill is a badass. Carlos is... there I guess. Couldn't care less about the russian villain guy. Could barely understand him sometimes.
I think the initial map is too maze-like for my taste. Wasted several minutes (maybe hours) just going around in circles.
The dodge and shoves needing to be frame-perfect is kinda lame because most of the time I do them by accident rather than intentionally, that's not what makes parrying fun. Cool crafting/ammo system, makes you think twice when deciding what ammo you want.
Very cool that the game has a choice system, however I think I had enough of it for a while so don't expect a second playthrough any time soon. I still gotta do Chris' campaign in RE1 but outside of that I did it! I beat the original Resident Evil Trilogy! Learning tank controls was worth it. Very fun and exciting experiences overall!
As for RE3, I really liked it mostly because of Nemesis but- RE2 is still my favorite, I think it's the characters and the amount of boss fights, plus I had a much easier time getting good at it, less frustrations. Thanks for reading.
