The word "unnecessary" pops up in my mind while playing through it regarding the plot of RE0.
Rebecca gets the short end of the stick in Resident Evil Zero as her only starring role in the series. Only if rumors are true, this may change in the future. Or, if you include the Biohazard stage play as well.

Of the fixed camera angle RE titles, I rank Resident Evil Zero at the very bottom. Heck, I probably rank Resident Evil Zero at the bottom for mainline RE titles. It does have moments where the changes in the formula work well, but that's the exception and not the norm with Resident Evil Zero.

In a series known for its replayability, Resident Evil Zero isn't the first title I'm going to replay. If at all.

Oh, and that hookshot sucks.

This Resident Evil Zero review/analysis/critique/retrospective will look at how the title came together, the tweaks to the Resident Evil formula, what the game does well, its shortcomings, and more.
