Critic Reviews
- All these years later, Resident Evil remains an excellent survival-horror game. The puzzles are still good, the brief bouts of action are still tense, and the scares still deliver even if you know about them beforehand. The appeal of this port is the fact that the game can now be portable, so the benefits of the smaller screen really come into play. It might have slightly longer load times in some areas, but if you want to play the remade classic on the go, this is a well-done port.
Cody Medellin · Jan 14, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - It’s a game that managed to age much better than a lot of its peers, despite the confusing control layout and slightly long loading times. If you’re a Resident Evil and horror fan, don’t think twice. You may think that playing a game like this on a small screen might reduce its overall scare factor, but you’re wrong. It’s as tense as ever and that makes it as fun as it has ever been.
Leo Faria · Jul 12, 2019 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - A big question a lot of gamers will need to ask themselves is just how much they value the ability to play Resident Evil on the go. At a price of ÂŁ29.99 ($29.99) for a game that a) is an HD version of a now 15-plus-year-old game and b) can be found much cheaper on other systems it does seem on the high side. As novel as it is being able to play a full-fledged Resident Evil game anywhere, itâs a tough job to justify the inflated amount.
Ryan Janes · Jun 02, 2019 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Resident Evil on the Switch is a familiar experience with some excellent gameplay that can be enjoyed in handheld mode. The few flaws it has shouldn’t detract, but the price might.
Stephen Wilds · May 22, 2019 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Despite shortcomings, the remake of the first Resident Evil title is a tense, exciting romp through a mansion that has a ton of creepy secrets. There are definite signs of aging here that make me appreciate current day luxuries, but once I got past those I enjoyed Resident Evil’s puzzles, scares and horrors.
Bryan Rose · May 21, 2019 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Resident Evil is an excellent, successful resurrection of a timeless classic. While there may not be enough content to satiate those familiar with the 13-year-old remake, things still felt fresh, in a rotted, unsettling sort of way.
Jon Ledford · Feb 02, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Great environments but with some blurred textures; Fantastic sound remix for 5.1 but with occasionally subpar voice work; Terrifying and thrilling but with lots of retreading; Lots of replay value but sometimes only slight differences in endings. Ultimately a great price for excellent game, but would have liked disc-based US release. The wild card is that it's a multigenerational rerelease with slight graphical variation across platforms.
Adrian Winters · Jan 24, 2015 Reviewed onRead full review - Being a massive fan of Resident Evil’s former gameplay style, getting my hands on this remaster was refreshing. While I can appreciate its third-person shooter approach, I felt like the series was slowly losing its survival horror identity that the original Resident Evil popularized back in 1996.
Christian Chiok · Jan 24, 2015 Reviewed on PCRead full review - For those who are fans of the Resident Evil series like me, who have not played the original in a long time, Resident Evil HD Remaster is great fan-service, and for the price how could you say no? So what are you waiting for? Grab your gun, get your green herbs ready, and go forth into Raccoon City, where the nightmare all started!
Matt Cullen · Jan 23, 2015 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Still considered one of the best (if not THE best in the series) REmake still holds up today as a trendsetter in the gaming world. Every other title wanted to be it, but none ever quite nailed the formula the way this Gamecube remake does. Definitely recommended for fans of the genre, as this is the pinnacle of what Shinji Mikami created all those years ago.
