story is alright but really really flawed and the best portion of the game ends when you exit the 2nd house section
I genuinely think this is the scariest horror game of all time in my opinion. It was so fresh and new at a time when the franchise needed it most and it was nothing but refreshing. I loved playing this game with my brothers and have nothing but good memories of it. Ethan Winters is my GOAT and the first-person gameplay swap is very fun in context to its predecessors. It was bold, but it payed off.
So I completed this game (both endings) alongside the Chris free dlc. I want to say I initially had negative thoughts about this game because of how they changed a lot of things, including the first person camera. I can't say that is a choice I like.
To me, this game (at least most of it) felt like an Outlast 2 with a gun! Which is ironic considering Outlast 2 came out a few months later.
It definitely did not fail when it came to horror ambiance and, since it's one of my favorite genres, I was not unhappy about that. The game does make you stressed and forces you to be on high alert... I think that's amazing for a game to accomplish that. Still, I've been a fan of this franchise for many years and so I was attached to the mainline characters, I didn't really feel anything for Ethan so I'm not giving this game 5 stars. Loved the concept of Mia and Zoe as characters, so I think it's just Ethan (sorry man).
It was a great game, though. I like it when Survival Horror games focus more on the horror part. Felt more different than regular RE but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
P.S.: Resident Evil 1 broken shotgun!!!
