Dinosaur Evil
A fun game even today, which innovated compared to its predecessors Resident Evil 1 and 2 by focusing on:
- 100% 3D backgrounds, instead of static images.
- Allowing aiming while walking.
- Making decisions at key moments in the story.
What I liked the most
-
Good atmosphere, in the purest Capcom survival horror style.
-
You can save infinitely when leaving the “save rooms”.
-
A tense but very enjoyable soundtrack with incredible tracks like “Set You at Ease”.
What didn’t win me over
-
The inventory is unclear and the combinations between items are very confusing.
-
Puzzles and encrypted codes are quite repetitive.
-
The mechanic of collecting fingerprints to create IDs is interesting but becomes cumbersome at certain moments in the game.
-
The game is quite fluid until we approach the end, where we must follow a procedure to start a mechanism, which becomes too cumbersome.
-
The enemies are very easy to dodge, to the point of not needing to spend ammunition in many encounters.
