    Wonderful retro game......all says Resident Evil - and I'm getting flashback to Alone in The Dark series in the 90's.
    One thing makes me give a lower score is the steering - it's akward and backwards.....I don't like that - that's why I'm giving Vaccine a 7.

    I had to sign up just so I could write my opinions on this game. This game ticks all the right boxes if you are like me and grew up with the classic Resident Evil games. It would be easy to dismiss this game as a cheap rip-off of the RE series but to be honest it's more of a love letter.

This game ticks all the right boxes if you are like me and grew up with the classic Resident Evil games. It would be easy to dismiss this game as a cheap rip-off of the RE series but to be honest it's more of a love letter. The game has a simple premise, you have to make your way through a randomly generated mansion in order to help your dying partner. The graphics and sound both scream 1996 and also bare a very close resemblance to the mansion and music from Resident Evil 1. Sometimes it feels so similar, it could be classed as plagiarism, however the game has enough character to feel like it's own entity and not just a blatant rip-off. I've owned the game for three days now and already sunk around 10 hours into it which is surprising, I was really not expecting much when I purchased it. So my advice to any potential buyers is simple, if you're a fan of Resident Evil, buy it right now and enjoy a blast to the past. Sure it has its bugs and control issues, but nothing a veteran of the classics won't feel right at home with. I actually found the controls to be very nostalgic and endearing. So go on, have fun people and stop following the other sheep!… Expand

    Vaccine starts off from an interesting idea and the similarities to the original Resident Evil may raise expectations but unfortunately its concept was not rightly put into place and the result is a game that is built on what's negative - the controls, its very outdated graphics and complete lack of variety - and barely touches what's positive, as its idea gets easily sidelined by its more negative aspects.

    Vaccine isn’t a title I’d recommend even to the most fervent survival horror fans. There just isn’t enough variation to continue playing death after death. Stay away from this one.

    A game which seems to draw a lot from Resident Evil, Vaccine is more than just a clone; it's a hard-as-nails rendition of what the series would be like if it was procedurally generated and smaller in scope. At this they've succeeded, and have managed to weave in some fun to boot. It's not the best Resident Evil clone I've ever played, but it's better than average - and the gameplay twists are both addictive and satisfying in their own right.
