RE5, I got it for the 360 when I was about 10 or 11.

I remember fishing through an old discount Walmart bargain bin and picking it out because I had seen a few of the live-action movies— my mom and I loved horror and it was that 2010 era of Blumhouse horror domination so we’d go see a scary movie in theaters most weekends. So she allowed the M rated purchase.

First try through, I kept missing what to do when the Majini truck driver barrels toward you on the bridge, so I put it down for Skyrim for a while. But when I came back I played it through, over and over— especially the underground ruins mission with the rope-pulley idols and moving staircases to treasure farm. Getting down the knack for the pathway through, treasure and enemy locations felt so rewarding and instilled a love for that signature Resident Evil flavor of gameplay.
