the remake of the first resident evil that came 6 years after the original release and 5 years after the re-release known as "Director's Cut" and 4 years before the second remake for DS known as "Deadly Silence" and 7 years before being re-released for the Wii U's "Resident Evil Archives" now after 19 or so years we have the remake remastered re-re-rerelease of the original Resident Evil (this game).

the first Resident Evil is so incredibly amazing in it's foundation, there's no wonder why it's been remade, ported, remastered, and more for new audiences. make sure to play through the original 1996 version just for fun seeing as it's only 6 or so hours.

the perfect starting point for new fans.

"I Am Sakuya" is a fairly good fangame. not really any complaints, though i do not know if this should be $8~ as of release day. i beat this in under an hour so i really couldn't say if i recommend this to everyone due to that. i understand Sigyaad is going to add more to the game but i really hope other people (and new fans!!) can see past the current amount of content and a bit of the unpolished edges. i love u Sigyaad pl0x i need MOAR <3

EDIT (after 20 hours into the game & chapter 9 so minor spoilers!):

I really wish that this game was a spin-off or at least give me Judgement on Steam (PLEASE, I DONT WANT TO GO TO STADIA).
I am putting this one on hold, at least until I feel comfortable enough to put myself through a JRPG's usual bad pacing.

STORY:
After having marathoned every Yakuza game, this is where I started to not care too much. It's the usual family ties twist, scooby doo puppetmaster that's behind it all, or fake death scenario. There's mystery, drama, and laughs to be had. This franchise is the videogame equivalent of a crime soap opera, and it's always amazing to see what stupid twist they come up with. Yakuza 7 feels heartfelt but my brain sort of has had enough of the rinse & repeat plot points. (the major character plays fall guy for whom he feels is family and goes to prison expecting everything to be okay when he comes out but everything has changed and the person he used to know is a traitor, where have i heard that one b4...)

CHARACTERS:
I like Ichiban as a protagonist, he's goofy and is very charismatic compared to Kiryu. Nanba is cool and Adachi is too despite being Ichiban's Date, Saeko I don't like in gameplay otherwise she's fine in personality. Side characters and unlockable party mates I have yet to fully experience but I will tell you that Joon-gi Han and Kashiwagi coming back is reaching into uncharted realms of absurdity to the point of "Well, fanservice is really selling right now so..."

GAMEPLAY:
The most divisive Yakuza game when it comes to gameplay. I honestly don't really like JRPGs nor turn-based mechanics, however, I wanted to give this a shot because it's a Yakuza game. I was overwhelmed to say the least, but I did enjoy the combat enough to keep playing. I wish that I didn't have to start the whole game over just to put the difficulty to an easier setting (you have to complete the entire game to set it). This game was an April Fools joke gone wrong (gone sexual).

FINAL NOTES:
BRING OTHER RGG GAMES TO STEAM, the jidaigeki spinoffs (Kenzan, Ishn) are locked away and only the strongest of translators / hackers can save it rn...
Also too, emulators can only do so much because Lost Judgment is on modern consoles (but not on PC)

the alternate reality where the florist ceases to exist (for some reason)

when a yakuza 5 fan tries to tell you about their dreams, RUN.

average yakuza story writing:
"the brother of my murdered step-sister is actually the father of the two children that i raised with your mother who died 5 years ago but she actually isn't dead because when your cousin who is a hitman went to go kill my wife he ended up protecting her with a body double of an identical looking girl who is despicable because he found out my wife is actually the savior of your cousin's uncle in a horrible car accident which ended up killing a yakuza captain who babysat my two kids but the dad of that yakuza captain swore revenge on your cousin's uncle so he hired your cousin to do the job. so now we have to stop the president of the secret organization because he actually is controlling the dad of the dead yakuza captain so he can destroy the tojo clan because the president's dead sister is actually my dead step-sister who was murdered by the father of my two children who is also the president's brother and it's my fault because i knew about the murder but i failed to stop it in time."

"sou ka...." (eng subtitles: wow, i didn't know that, i really wish you would've told me.)

never change yakuza
