This is not the first game that will come to mind when I think of Resident Evil. I will always immediately think of RE and RE2 when I think of Resident Evil. As far as personal enjoyment goes though this is 2nd on my list of all time RE games. They blended the action and horror better in this game than all other REs. It calls back to RE4 so hard many times throughout the game. While this isn’t the scariest RE it has its moments. It does have what I consider the best horror section in the series though. I won’t place any spoilers but if you’ve played you pretty much know what section I mean. It does seem to be more horror less action through the first half with more action and much less horror in the last sections but overall I felt like they blended it very well.

I really liked the 4 Lords and hope to get more back story on Miranda, Lady D, or Heisenburg in the DLC. After RE7 Ethan was my least favorite playable character of the main line titles but after 8 he is one of my favorites. As a new father to a little girl myself I can relate to the lengths he would go through to try and save his baby girl. The ending hit me in the heart as a father.

All in all I would recommend this game to anyone that is a fan of horror games.
