Resident Evil 0 HD Reviews
Nostalgia with a visual upgrade but gameplay stagnation.
Resident Evil Zero is a game best remembered through nostalgia rather than revisiting it. But its single player/co-op game style and item searching add a few interesting moments.
Resident Evil 0 HD Remaster proves that no matter how much you dress up an over decade-old corpse, it doesn't keep it from stinking.
Resident Evil 0 HD Remaster is a fantastic reworking of a solid entry into the mainline series.
A great way to play one of the weakest entries in the classic Resident Evil canon
A relatively solid game, but there are better entries in the series. It feels like it has lost its magic over the years, like an over-polished trinket that has lost its identity, it just doesn't hit the spot in terms of gameplay or creativity.
At times then Resident Evil Zero is a frustrating experience, but persevere and you'll find yourself immersed in a great old-school survival horror game. The atmosphere's fantastic, and the character zapping system means you're never stuck too long banging your head against a hard puzzle. It won't be everyone, but what is, and it servers as a timely reminder of just how much Resident Evil has changed over the years.
If you have played a Resident Evil game before or are a complete newbie to the series, there's enough of a reason for you to check Resident Evil 0 HD out. It's a good starting point for newcomers while managing to retain a host of systems and conventions to keep old-timers satiated.
Resident Evil 0 stands completely on its own. You can go into this game completely blind, having never played a single Resident Evil game, and be able to appreciate it all. In fact, it's the best way to jump into the series. I highly recommend this game to newcomers and veterans alike. Do yourself a favor and get this game.
Resident Evil 0 remains a good game in the series. Even with your AI partner's occasional lapses in judgment, the dynamic makes the standard formula feel fresh, while the lack of chests can be either good or bad depending on your outlook. The stunted load times ruin the mood since they occur all the time. If you don't mind that and you want to own the game in a portable form, this port isn't all that bad.
Resident Evil Zero might have frustrating controls, clunky navigation, and the most punishing inventory system you can find. However, it's HD remaster makes the game look good and the updated controls, while still finicky, still provide an enjoyable gameplay experience.
A tremendous remaster of a really great game. 'Resident Evil 0' might be a little too difficult at times, and the inventory system really could've used some tweaking, but there's never been a better way to experience this survival horror classic. If you've never played the game before, it's a fantastic time, and if you have, it's hard not to appreciate just how much has been done to make this version of it extremely worthwhile.
Some games get better with age, and nowadays it's not often a game attempts a slower pace, one where you carefully explore a relatively small but dense world. The enhancements to the graphics and controls are well done, making for a classic yet modern feeling experience, one that works well for veterans as well as newcomers alike.

Resident Evil 0 was already widely considered one of the weakest traditional entries in the series, due to its meaningless story and tedious game design. There were so many possibilities that could have worked out so much better if some of its design got tweaked, and if Rebecca was a new and totally different character so the story wouldn't clash with the established canon. While it is an exceptional looking title, the ridiculously longer load times is a good way to ruin the mood to keep playing on top of the gameplay being inferior to older entries.
In conclusion, I am blown away by Resident Evil Zero HD, it’s everything I wanted and more from this release. I’ve played a lot of HD remasters of older games, Silent Hill HD Collection, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, the previous re-releases of REmake, RE4, and Code: Veronica X, but none of them even come close to the perfection that is Resident Evil Zero HD.
While carrying the same improvements to the resolution and artwork as seen in last years Resident Evil re-release, Resident Evil Zero still cannot escape its status as the weakest of the original Resident Evil games. A retread through scenarios already set in previous entries, it brings no redeeming features of its own.
Featuring two characters for a majority of the adventure adds some interesting puzzle design, but also takes away from the feeling of isolation and dread. Fortunately the frightening and off-putting atmosphere helps to counteract that. While it isn't the best of the classics, Resident Evil Zero still manages to deliver an authentic survival horror experience.
Capcom has ensured their franchise will continue with the HD remake of Resident Evil 0.
Resident Evil Zero HD Remaster will remind you of the good 'ol days when horror was horror. You will appreciate this supposedly "outdated" mode of gameplay, especially if you recall the early days of this franchise with extreme fondness. Yeah, like most remakes, this one has to thrive on some nostalgia.
Resident Evil Zero HD Remaster is a relatively unappealing game when evaluated from a modern point of view, but a good one for those who experienced it for the first time before 2005 and fell in love with its mechanics and story.
