Resident Evil's PS1 Achievement HELL | RetroAchievements - Video

Resident Evil PS1 Achievement HELL! | RetroAchievements

This is my first ever playthrough of the original Resident Evil on PS1… and I went straight into the deep end with RetroAchievements.

It took nearly 5 months to master, with knife-only runs, no-heal bosses, time trials, and one challenge that banned saves or the item box entirely. There was even a Jill run where I could only use the handgun and one single first aid spray. If you want to see true survival horror, this is it.

???? Game: Resident Evil (PS1)
???? Points: 615
???? Difficulty: Extreme
⏳ Time to Master: ~5 months
