Moving on from finishing RE0 to another game in the series that's mostly new to me. Hopefully I'll enjoy the shift away from my precious tank controls and the fixed viewpoints I love so much.
As ever, I doubt I'll have time for the bonus modes this time around as it's time to move on and say goodbye to the classic RE games at this point in the run. RE0 has whetted my appetite for REmake in future, when I'll play the remake series in order.
In spite of this fear of repeated tedium, I really enjoyed the first and last thirds of the game. The train, especially. Overall I'm glad I persevered with it but at times the item management just felt like work and almost put me off completely. Hopefully that can be fixed when this is remade.
At times I found myself saving the game purely because I'd completed a lengthy run to fetch items and ferry them from one location to the next. The core feeling of dread that I felt was at the thought of repeating all of this extensive backtracking if things went sideways behind the next door.
It certainly has the bones of a compelling RE game but the perplexing decision to offload ongoing inventory management completely onto the player in lieu of the omnipresent item box significantly damaged my relationship with the game. I'm surprised that it survived playtesting.
While my overall impression was that RE0 is a deeply flawed (if visually stunning) experience, I really began to warm to it again toward the end. The barrage of enemies slowed to a better pace, rather than a nasty surprise behind every other door.
Wasn't too pleased to run into this familiar face again but thankfully I'd brought along enough magnum ammo for both fights.
Although I love the look of the original, being back here made me pine for RE2 remade in the REmake style.
After sagging a bit in the training facility, I was pleasantly surprised to find myself in familiar territory.
Persisted sporadically with RE0 since that last post.

B&M (and Wilkinson's before it) are such money traps for us. We rarely get out of one without spending at least £30.

Any good games on sale this time?

Jill, I was under the impression that your skillset would have allowed us to avoid this specific scenario

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...

It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.

Please share :)
The Video Game History Expansion Pack – Pitch your story
Today I’m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project — a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.

Incredible to think that Capcom had the confidence to put Street Fighter Alpha into the hands of a team with lots of new hires and initially gave them just three months to get it made.

Loved this so much when it came out. Very flawed in lots of ways but that just made me like it even more.

Really wish Konami would hand it over to the likes of @nightdivestudios.bsky.social for another N64 remaster.

Single screen platform games were a whole sub genre back in the day. Here’s Rod Land from 1990…

Would like to hear your thoughts on it. Been a big Damrey fan for years and would love to know if there were more games like it. Absolutely bone-dry sense of humour sometimes as well.
