we need a remake for this

inventory management simulator

This game is a good example of how a good foundation can be spoiled by serious game design mistakes, and shows the worst the RE franchise is capable of in terms of item management, backtracking, combat and story. Even as an RE fan this was a real chore to complete, and what little good it has to offer is overshadowed the next moment by frustrating combat and exploration.

One key redeeming factor that needs to be mentioned is the graphics - the pre-rendered settings have aged bloody well, but unfortunately a lot of the game takes place in industrial environments and even the mansion somehow lacks some soul. Still, for a game released in 2002 this was a great visual prowess.

I played until the end because I love RE, have an autistic interest in tank controls and am currently working on a game using this scheme and inspired by RE, but otherwise I wouldn't consider this game worth playing, except for RE/survival horror/pre-rendered graphics nerds and historians.
