A game about monsters

People : FJEKFNEKFNE RE CLONE FGWJFKWBDJ

A Resident Evil clone that has not aged well and is incredibly frustrating.

Well I poured over an hour into this game. After a few false starts I found my rhythm. I had a playthrough going that was roughly an hour long until I died. An hour into a game's run and I had yet to find a save point. Why did old games do this? Why did they make them so difficult? That's not fun. It's incredibly annoying and frustrating.

The sheer amount of never ending enemies is really frustrating too. Especially for a survival horror game where you are trying to manage your resources. However they did get Bruce Campbell and he is easily the best part. I like that this didn't shy away from the blood and the expansion to the lore was sort of interesting. I liked exploring the map and learning what else is near the iconic cabin. It has quite the atmosphere. However it would have been a hell of lot more fun exploring if the enemies would have just relaxed for like a minute to let you soak everything in.

It's a complete and well made game it's just not that fun. I'm hoping the ps2 ones are a lot more fun than this. Bonus point for the IP and getting the movie actor for the game. Even as a huge fan of Resident Evil games I have difficulties going back to those originals. I just don't like that style of game very much any more. Give me something more akin to RE4 over the first two any day.
