This game was the fourth in the series that I played through. If I knew in what order I had to play, I would have started with it. She essentially started the franchise and made it what we know it today. It began a long but fascinating storyline between Leon and Claire. It gave me unforgettable emotions after the first playthrough and to this day I consider it one of my favorite games. Judge for yourself. The graphics in it are excellent. The plot is incredible. The gameplay is top notch. The characters are written well. The riddles in it are interesting, not very complicated, but it would be hard to call them simple. Plus the Tyrant, who could appear anywhere and cause trouble.
It combines horror and shooter, and does it competently. In general, the game is simply top-notch.
That's all for me. Play good games!
