    Final Thoughts:

    It's the run-up to #ResidentEvil4Remake! Get through Resident Evil 0’s experimentation and you’ll find a fun, familiar experience. Its atmosphere and sound design are pristine and it embodies early survival horror. It won’t please everyone and given the story and its cast have been done by the series better, if it doesn’t tickle your fancy, giving it a miss won’t mess    Final Thoughts:

    RE fans will enjoy this, i certainly did but the truth is that it is a watered down version of RE1. If you want more RE1 then get this.
    There is the annoying lack of the supply box but it is playable with a bit of backtracking.
    I liked this game for what it is.

    The story leaves a lot to be desired, but it offers enough challenges, some fair some unfair, to keep the player invested, and the player switching mechanic is a welcome addition.

    Um ótimo jogo de RE, com uma história muito interessante que explica o que aconteceu pra equipe dos STARTS aparecerem na mansão no RE 1. A Rebecca é incrível (deveria ser aproveitada mais em outros jogos da franquia) e o Billy é bastante carismático.

Un Resident Evil al estilo clásico de escenarios prerenderizados y controles tipo tanque pero con unas mecánicas peculiares como el manejo de dos personajes de manera simultánea para la gestión del inventario y resolución de acertijos o la eliminación de los baúles que le agregan una nueva capa de estrategia al gameplay. En cuanto al minijuego Leech Hunter, es muy divertido y adictivo e incita a la rejugabilidad. Esta versión incluye el Modo Wesker que es un añadido interesante, pero que descoloca un poco por usar el argumento de Billy pero con el personaje de Albert Wesker. Los únicos defectos que encuentro son la ausencia de baúles, lo cual entorpece un poco la jugabilidad a la hora de descartar objetos, lo cual se vuelve caótico, hubiera sido mejor conservar los baúles aunque estos no estuvieran conectados, lo cuál resultaría en la misma mecánica de administaración de inventario pero sin entorpecer los escenarios con tantos items tirados por el suelo. Otro detalle es que quizás los protagonistas de esta historia carecen del carisma de otros personajes como Jill Valentine o Leon Kennedy, además la historia resulta algo incoherente a la hora de conectar ciertos acontecimientos entre este y Resident Evil 1, pero aún así, el juego brilla por méritos propios. Sin duda uno de los mejores Resident Evil.… Expand

    It’s an absolute original Resident Evil experience the gameplay is classic like the first game and the story is as important as the first game tbh I prefer it than the the Original Resident evil in the gameplay and the atmosphere, but it had a lot of cringy cutscenes but overall it’s very enjoyable if you’re a Resident Evil Fan I highly recommend it.

This adds to the building of camaraderie between the two player characters that grows throughout the game. Another memorable boss fight is the final, where the pair face off against the Queen Leech. Billy must use his ‘charm’ to distract her majesty, while Rebecca works on opening the sun roof to weaken the queen. That said, the zombie monkeys in RE0 go down as the worst RE enemies of all time. They are very quick, making it hard to land a shot on them, and easy to take you from fine to danger, many, many times.… Expand

    I wasn't expecting one of the best in the series, but DAMN!
    This game certainly carries the atmosphere that the first game has, but it fails on so many other things. No Item boxes, frustrating "carry or leave" item design, less space for items, bullet sponge enemies, nonsensical plot (timeline-wise) and unnecessary dull backtracking moments.

    What's up with the story? Resident Evil always had a "b-movie" vibe going on, but this is Z-tier anime **** Also, Billy sucks as a character and Rebecca's development in this game is 100% ruined by her original appearance. And I won't even talk about the mansion. It's TOO MUCH alike Spencer's! It shouldn't exist and the game should just take place on the train/forest.

    Overall, the only thing that "saves" this game is the classic feeling it packs. Bosses are good, pre-rendered graphics are nice, puzzles are solid and it gets you TENSE as hell! Very weak replay value, though. I can only recommend it for hardcore fans of the series. If you're not, stay away from it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoilers in the end of the review, I will let you know.
    Resident Evil Zero was the first game in the saga that I played and is to date one of my favorites, starting with the new modality of introducing two playable characters and how you interact with them, the different locations where you play and of course their protagonists, Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen seem to me one of the most underrated characters in the franchise and that personally (more Rebecca) are my favorites. The only bad thing about the game, in my opinion, was that at times it felt a bit repetitive and therefore boring, but this only on a few occasions, I also don't understand why they removed the trunks of objects since if it is very angry to be returning for objects you left on the floor.
    Entering Spoilers !!
    As for the plot, I found it quite interesting , to put a mysterious man outside the train with a rather peculiar robe, it catches your attention and you want to know more, the story also explains why the Alpha team arrived at the mansion in search of of the Bravo and well throughout the game basically explains what and why things are happening, the zombies and the monsters that we encounter, we are shown that William Birkin and Albert Wesker are behind these things but soon it is revealed that the one who unleashed the infection was the founder of Umbrella, James Marcus, how the events of the story unfold, it seems to me that it was done well but neither expect the great story, it is simply a good plot, which he did perfectly It was connecting directly with the events of Resident Evil, seeing how Rebecca addresses the Spencer mansion.
    In conclusion Resident Evil Zero is a great game of the series, a great challenge and a title with good playability, graphics and good history although at times it becomes quite flat.    … Expand

    Not a bad game, but very different from all the others. More of an action-puzzler which is satisfying enough for one go. But it's entirely devoid of horror or tension, and the story is very light.

(Which goes the same for the Resident Evil 1 Remaster) Many years after this game was released, it still holds some stunning sounds and visuals. Although the gameplay remains the same with the love/hate controls, which has never been a problem for me. (Just a learning curve, really. Resident Evil fan or not.)
    As for the nice little tidbits they added in, like the Wesker mode and new fan service outfits. (Which are cool) Left me wishing for more from the game's release. But considering we are getting a game that may have never been a shiny new coat, I'm fine with what is here!

    The main game, for those who don't know is the story BEFORE the main Resident Evil story starts and explains many of the questions left unanswered during the first Resident Evil game. If this is your first, I'd recommend starting with the Resident Evil HD Remaster THEN play this, as it kind takes away a little of the magic that the original game has.

    Story wise, its a step forward for the series, by connecting the dots and giving a story that is expands to the series. Along with its own creepy setting and mansion. Ironically, as many of the questions are answered, some are created by this game. Such as how the main character, Rebecca isn't a hardened zombie killing machine by the time the events of the first Resident Evil occurs. (Oh well, just chalk it up to PTSD, then. *shrugs*)

    As for the gameplay, it plays almost identical to Resident Evil HD Remake, with two distinct differences. The partner/zapping system and inventory management are drawbacks to this experience, but I guess I can polish a turd every once in a while. I just look at them as added challenges to outweigh the endless abyss of a toybox, almost EVERY Resident Evil has and the partner system can be utilized to have you play a solo game without the partner for added challenge. (Just leave some ammo for your partner, while they wait in another room or put them in a safe area.)

    Outside of that, Resident Evil 0 has plenty of cool challenges, BOWs and has plenty of the classic gameplay you'll get from the pre-RE4 gameplay style. Bonus content bumps this up to a solid 8-8.5.    … Expand

    A joyless game. Every section feels like a tedious lateral thinking puzzle – "the farmer has a fox, a chicken and some grain, but can only carry one at a time" – and the locations and creatures are half-heartedly designed. If you haven't played it, it provides valuable insight into where Resident Evil, and perhaps games at large, went wrong over the past decade or so. Other than that, it feels like work.
