Resident Evil biohazard reminded me of what makes these games so popular in the first place. Parts resembled classic horror films like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, except you are the main protagonist Ethan. You feel everything from jump to jump like a jack in the box. The setting by a swamp in old rotten wooden house really does this justice alongside the the ship in the later part of the game.

There is something daunting about each phone call from the mysterious woman where the isolation brings loneliness in this location. Although she appears to be a friend trying to get herself and Ethan out of this mess, nothing quite seems certain. Leaving me feeling little trust for anything that might transpire. Left with the most craziest of residents, yes a Resident Evil providing residential scares, my optimism for escaping this hell hole is left in tatters.

Without giving to much away Ethan is forced towards this house in pursuit of saving his woman Mia who undoubtedly forbids him to come looking for her knowing the dangers ahead. Everything about this game is so well done you become engrossed in it from start to finish. With the usual puzzle solving from time to time to VHS camcorders showing previous victims and camper van safe zones this particular outing feels and plays so real. As we stumble through dark corridors to walls breaking through, trying to unravel the truth of what might or might not have happened to Mia, things get weird! This is one of the best horror games I have experienced so far as once again the RE games go in a different direction with the first person shooter viewpoint. This new viewpoint keeps the franchise fresh doing wonders to what was already very strong in addition to previous games. I'd say I'm not usually a fan of the first person shooter comparing them to third person games however there was something about it that worked so well here. Making it much more scary when turning each and every corner.
