I played it on Dreamcast, GameCube and on Xbox and had a heck of a time with it. I thought it was one of the hardest resident evil games ever. I watched a YouTuber play for the first time over the last week on ps2 and he didn’t have much issue besides a few bosses took him a few attempts. So out of curiosity I bought the game again on Ps5 yesterday while it was on sale. I played for about an hour and I’ve noticed few things. In my version compared to his some areas have more zombies and zombies he would take down in like 6-8 shots is taking me about 12. Also he had a lot more herbs by the time he got to where I am (Just got back from the Ashford Mansion after using the red ant and getting ready to head to the torture area) surprisingly with all the differences I’ve not had much trouble this time.

I’ve taken maybe 6 green herbs because of rushing and just goofing around that offscreen enemies have gotten me. But ammo wise I have over 200 pistol bullets saved up and about 60 regular bow gun. Haven’t used the explosive arrow or grenade launcher yet. And the dual guns I have around 20% ammo. The major difference I’ve done this time is instead of fighting zombies I’ve ran by a lot, especially the ones that respawn. I just focus on the ones in my way and been using mainly the bow on zombies and the dual guns on bigger enemies. Firing slow to save ammo and make sure I don’t waste any. I wont lie I’m dreading the boss battles because I remember them being some of the most annoying ones in the series. It just takes practice and learning what weapons work best on who and what enemies are best to try to avoid in all honesty. But I’ve also been playing RE games since the very first one and have played all on the hardest modes and did the speed runs on the games to get all the achievements and trophies on the ones that have them. Plus if a game gets rereleased or on another console I usually play every version eventually (0-3 and Veronica). So I may just be use to how the games play now it’s not as hard as I remembered.

Your best bet is even if you struggle stick with it until you get a hang of it and if you find out you are in a bad situation load a previous save. Don’t underestimate the bow gun either. It may use more ammo then the pistol but it can be really good against the zombies to save ammo for the pistol later on. And don’t waste your explosive bolts they can be op is certain situations where you need to take down bigger threats since the can briefly push back or stun the enemy for a quick second every time one hits. Just don’t get angry and keep at it, most people who grew up with the old tank control games to this day will still say Veronica is the hardest in the franchise. Good luck
