Resident Evil 0 (2002)
Best: Those Backgrounds!: Resident Evil 0’s pre-rendered backgrounds still look good today. The remastered version especially looks amazing, which is impressive considering the game is over 20 years old at this point. Sure, pre-rendering all the backgrounds means you’re basically running around pretty paintings, but whatever, it works and adds perfectly to the game’s moody vibe.
Worst: Dropping Items: Look, I understand. Some people like this idea, which ditches the series’s famous item boxes for the ability to drop anything, anywhere, whenever to free up space. But ditching item boxes and going with item dropping is weird and mostly a hassle. Most players ended up dropping stuff in safe areas anyway, so it didn’t really change how most people played Resident Evil 0 compared to past entries and felt like a change that was only done in an effort to shake up the aging formula.
