About this game
Ethan Winters searches a Louisiana house for his missing wife, with the action shown from his first-person viewpoint. Explore the house, solve puzzles and respond to threats as the search continues. Fighting is one option; running away can conserve resources, making confrontation itself a recurring decision. Gold Edition contains the main game, both Banned Footage volumes, Not a Hero, End of Zoe and Survival Pack DLC. The included Banned Footage changes the immediate objective: Bedroom asks you to escape a puzzle-filled room without Marguerite noticing, while Nightmare pits you against enemy waves until daylight. These scenarios place different tasks alongside Ethan's main search.
Collected in series
Resident Evil follows people trying to survive biological disasters, combining dangerous exploration, puzzles and encounters with hostile creatures. Each game finds a different balance between fear and action, with fixed, over-the-shoulder and first-person perspectives changing how you face the danger.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
Suited to players who want survival decisions to matter as much as fighting.
Choosing whether to confront a threat or conserve resources can make caution part of the appeal for survival-horror players. Bedroom's concealed escape and Nightmare's wave survival also offer contrasting objectives beyond the main search.
Strengths
- The fight-or-retreat choice gives resource conservation an active role.
- Included scenarios vary the task between discreet puzzle escape and sustained wave survival.
Weaknesses
- Players seeking uninterrupted combat may find the emphasis on puzzles and resource conservation less aligned with their preferences.
Who it is for: Players interested in first-person horror, puzzle-solving and deciding which threats deserve their resources.
