Very original plot
great visuals
great sound design
Over the top story at times
pretty linear
A way over the top action ride of an RE story- somehow I thought it was a LITTLE more grounded than RE4. Handled well, had fantastic prodcution value, and was paced great. Wouldn’t really know it down for anything necessarily- like how (at least in the documents you get) that it explained a bunch of stuff about the earlier series. Overall, super fun to play.
