Overview
This guide breaks down the achievements, sorting them into easy to understand sections.
Introduction
The Game
Resident Evil HD REMASTER (originally released in Japan as Biohazard) is a port of the GameCube remake released in 2002. While extremely faithful to the original Resident Evil released for the Playstation in 1996, there were a lot of new additions that carried over to this 2015 version.
