While Resident Evil didn&#8217;t invent the Survival Horror genre, it certainly popularized it. Blasting zombies, solving puzzles, and exploring a mysterious mansion are the perfect recipe for a great horror game. At the same time, this game is highly flawed with clumsy controls and awful voice acting, but these issues give Resident Evil a campy charm that makes it more entertaining. In addition to solid game design, a few memorable moments (usually in the form of jump scares) and an eerie story that&#8217;s often told through written clues found by the heroes make this game a stand out title of the early 3D era. If you haven&#8217;t played Resident Evil, it&#8217;s the perfect game to sit down with on a rainy day. For those who can&#8217;t stand tank controls, the remake does a decent (though imperfect) job of replicating the PS1 original, but with greatly improved controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/retromaggedon.com\/index.php\/resident-evil-ps1\/\">Click here for more on Resident Evil<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to nominate a Retro Game of the Month, visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/retromaggedon.com\/index.php\/forum\/topic\/nominate-your-favorite-games-here-2025\/#postid-15\">Forum<\/a> and tell us what title you would like to see featured on the home page!
