    Resident Evil 0 HD Remaster proves that 20 years is still young, outside esports of course. [March 2016]

    At times then Resident Evil Zero is a frustrating experience, but persevere and you’ll find yourself immersed in a great old-school survival horror game.

    Nearly identical title as it was years ago. This necessity for the fans of the series could be a painful journey into the history for others. [Issue#260]

    Another year, another Resident Evil HD Remaster from Capcom. This time they did a good job overhauling the cult classic from the GameCube era. We are happy with its looks and the new control scheme but the changes made to the inventory turn it into the most tedious and slow-paced game in the franchise.

    RE Zero is a great example of why old-school horror releases are beloved and special. With a few new technical upgrades, it has largely made a graceful return on current systems.

    Resident Evil 0 HD Remaster is a classic survival horror game with better graphics and a new control scheme. Its old school gameplay mechanics probably make it inaccessible for new players but it still remains a good game with great atmosphere.

    Resident Evil 0 HD Remaster is a nice enhanced edition of a good episode of the Capcom series, with some interesting cooperative mechanics.

Definetely a must play, it's one of the best "old" resident evils, would rank it right next to the first one, it's just a great experience overall, eventhough the hard mode is REALLY hardcore, don't try hard mode before getting experience with the game.

    I like this game. The controls are okay and the story is good. Graphics are improved. The areas are detailed.
