Resident Evil Survivor — A First-Person Experiment The first shot fired… in first person.

From its controversial reception and critical response, to its gameplay, atmosphere, and legacy, we break down what Resident Evil Survivor gets right — and where it falls short. Is it an overlooked piece of Resident Evil history… or a misstep best left in the past?
