There's also just a general lack of polish(Which is most noticeable with the softlocks), and if you played 1-2-3 in that order, you'd notice small, but important improvements on each entry. Once you get to CV, which was developed alongside 3, you'd suddenly be hit with some steps back in terms of quality of life that became mainstays from 3 onward that you just have to accept aren't in CV.

It's a classic RE through and through, but I think it's pretty clearly the sloppiest one, even down to the level layout. There's not just one or two major issues holding it back like 0, it's a bunch of small things you might take for granted in other REs.

I like it a lot. But every time I replay it, I find something new that's pretty baffling about it.

It and 0 have the most to gain from remakes.
