Resident Evil 0 HD Reviews
Resident Evil Zero HD Remaster freshens up with polished visuals and new additions, but it still clings to old survival horror mechanics that may alienate new players.
Familiar series hang-ups lead to signs of aging, but Resident Evil 0 HD's core gameplay and horror element hold up remarkably well. Updated visuals and controls make the return trip to Raccoon City worthwhile.
Resident Evil Zero isn't quite up there with the likes of Resident Evil 2 or the remake, but it's still a solid horror romp that fans will want to pick up. And now it looks even better to boot.
Resident Evil Zero not only feels fresh 14 years after its original release, but it also showcases a superb remastering effort. A methodical game which truly rewards deep thought, this survival horror classic stands tall in genre that's been streamlined a little too much in recent times. If you've never played 'Becca and Billy's escapade, then there's never been a better opportunity. And for those who have survived the nightmare before, the new modes and graphical upgrades mean that there's plenty of reason to climb aboard.
Capcom has largely left Resident Evil Zero untouched, which is either a positive or negative depending on your nostalgia for the 2002 release.
It's certainly not the best in the series, but it's a creepy game with a great atmosphere and one where you actually have to plan ahead. If only they fixed that ruddy camera.
Resident Evil 0 HD Remaster includes more content than most HD remasters, but does little to fix design flaws from the original.
Resident Evil 0 isn't a bad game. But compared to the original remake, it certainly is a step down. I can understand Capcom trying new things and increasing the tension, but it becomes tedious more than anything. Either way, it's still a good game and still worth playing if you have never played it before or want to replay it again after so many years.
Not the best Resident Evil game by a long shot, but Resident Evil 0 had loads to offer fans of the series. Newcomers are best to look towards the original game, though.
Resident Evil Zero's remastered graphics are great, but the blessings stop there. If you are interested in revisiting a remastered old-school Resident Evil game, stick with the original remaster from last year. That delivers all that was special about the series in the 90s and early 2000s without killing itself through needless complications.
Resident Evil 0 for Nintendo Switch is a good port of a classic project. It looks most advantageous in a portable mode, where all the roughness of the picture is smoothed out. Sadly, story is kinda bland. Game also lacks an adequate inventory system and some puzzles are illogical. If you've already completed an amazing remake of Resident Evil 2, as well as a re-release of the first one, but want another game with a similar mechanics, then you can try playing this release. But given the price tag it's better to buy it during a sale.

Resident Evil Zero Remaster is exactly what the name implies. I had a blast returning to this entry, which is easily my least played in the series. It does enough different to help it stand on its own, even if some of those mechanics are archaic by today's standards.
Resident Evil Zero HD sees the return of a weird chapter in the Resident Evil saga, one that feels clunky and frustrating in its low points, but which also shows some uniqueness from the legacy it helped bring to a close.
Resident Evil 0 HD is a good remake of a good game. Simple as that. If you like the series, or the original production, you'll like this quite a bit. The remake serves as a great history lesson to gamers that haven't gotten the chance, or a great throwback for those that just want to play some good old Resident Evil. Control, camera, and visual hiccups aside, the remake is good enough to forget Resident Evil 6, and remind us of the roots of the franchise. Hopefully this signals the return of true Survival Horror to the Capcom classic.
One of the harder-to-obtain Resident Evil titles is finally widely available. If you like Resident Evil it's worth playing, but don't expect something on par with the series' other older titles.
Time has rendered Resident Evil Zero somewhat toothless and frustrating, but this HD offering is still an enjoyable throwback that goes down better thanks to some generous helpings of cheese.
Instead of improving upon the original game's basic mechanics, this remaster instead indulges in fan service.
Although it maintains the tension that classic Resident Evil is known for, the game is unapologetically tied to the original to a fault so newcomers might be turned off by the older camera and controls mechanics. If you're a fan of classic Resident Evil, however, you'll get more mileage from this remaster for new consoles.
If you're hungry for more of that classic gameplay that involves backtracking, hunting down statues and keys to solve cryptic puzzles, and exploring enclosed spaces with fantastic horror movie camera angles, Resident Evil 0 will satisfy that hunger. It's a wonderful Resident Evil game with a few drawbacks.
