The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 of the Resident Evil Franchise

I could just end it there since it probably sums this game up best but no, this is literally the most underwhelmed I've been in this franchise so far. AT LEAST I heard beforehand that 5 and 6 were terrible and set my expectations low, this game is called on par with the first or surprisingly better. This was everything I was scared of the FIRST one being.

It's only 3 hours longer than the first game (because some impossible bullshit) but holy fuck it DRAGS REALLY HARD, sometimes levels are like 10 minutes while others are almost an hour long or more, the game is so disjointed and not paced right, especially when we spent time playing as a character for a few chapters even though we know they're dead.

The story of this game is absolute piss too, the only interest you could get is if you're interested in Barry and Claire but even then, this takes place between 5 and 6 and this gives 0 information regarding those games, they aren't even in the other sequels as I am typing this so really what's the point??

It has SOME good things, I like some of the puzzles and some cool enemies but jesus even the gameplay is just a worse version of RE5 (babying the AI,them taking items, etc). When you're hit, the damage on screen is incredibly distracting making it impossible to see whats going on, especially in the smoke.

And the next game I have to play is even worse!
