I was pleasantly surprised when playing this. I went into this game not caring a single bit about any of the characters, seeing as they were isolated from any of the other well-known established stars (and to be honest, it still confuses me why they did not just use a character(s) for this game they haven't in a while like Jill or even Jake or Sherry). What I ended up finding was a genuinely good survival-horror game with all the goofiness one would expect of a Capcom game and a return to the puzzle-solving RE is famous for. Something this game also managed to do very well for the first time in the series was make many of the jumpscares unexpected. In previous games, it was usually extremely obvious when something would jump out to try and grab you, but this time they actually try and get you to do a little squeal and pee your pants a little when a moldyguy jumps through a window. The puzzles in this game were really very creative and interesting to solve, such as one particular puzzle related to a videotape (my favorite in the game). The DLC stories were actually worth playing which surprised me again, though I can't say I was happy about having to play as Joe in one of them. My biggest issue with this game is probably the most common gripe about it, being the first-person view. I'm not opposed to playing a game in first-person, and in a lot of ways it helps the horror aspect be more in-your-face. But I just don't like it in Resident Evil.
