Currently writing this at chapter 12 and so far, amazing game. I couldn't wait to write about this game after Luis' death just because of how beautifully written his final words were. It was short but powerful, as Leon helps light the cigarette in Luis mouth as he sits there lifeless, Luis says that he has lived a shitty life, but he says to Leon "People can change, right?" which sums up Luis and his whole redemption story completely.

Now, finishing the game I can confidently say that is the scariest game I have played albeit I don't play any horror games however I might have to start. This game is very cliche with a lot of pretty easy to expect moments, like when Luis dies, but this does not take away from the story or horror much. The environment that is built up paired with the score always left me on the edge of my seat and my hands sweating as I slowly traverse this game. The first sequence where you explore the house made me have to leave and come back another day cause I was tweaking out, however after I came back with a few friends to watch me I entered the next area and they watched me get fucked by the enemies over and over until I turned the difficulty down to normal and even then I ran out of ammo but me and my friends all exclaimed after realising I just had to survive for a certain amount of time. Every special infected that was introduced always made my heart pound as I fearfully cleared that section of infected. Each new area was a treat to explore and the weapons were fun to use. The mechanics were simple but enjoyable and the boss fights were all good. Especially Krauser, even though it was quite an easy boss fight, as I was walking through the ruins, running into traps, having Krauser jump at you randomly kept me on edge. This is what the game does perfectly. Keep you on edge. The story was quite a basic rescue story with a few interesting moments, like when Ashley got taken control of and ran away, however the plot was carried but the characters, Ashley being the only one I disliked and Hunnington was not alive long enough </3. The lore was interesting in how the place was made and the backstory of all the people who you fight, the game allowed you to invest time into knowing the backstories of each boss, but you also had the choice not to and just play the game. When finally getting to Luis' lab it was bittersweet being able to see more into Luis' backstory and seeing how much he wanted to redeem himself. There are no real side quests in this game and the blue missions kind of take away from the environment, kill 3 rats? This did not take away from the big moments however. I shit myself when the chainsaws came through the wall in the warehouse against that spider chainsaw thing. The part where you run through the hallways and you hear clammering on the metal above from the Verdugo freaked me out. On top of that, I have never experienced fear like I did when I ran into the first Regenerador. Shit, I never ever experienced a shiver down my spine like I did when I saw that thing. The suspense was perfectly driven as you read the files about a monster that never dies and you hear the eerie sounds from the room it resided in. My hands were shaking as my heart pounded and I ran the opposite way and anytime I turned the corner and saw it I was still terrified. Overall a great horror game, I have never played any other RE games so being my first one, it was a great introduction to the RE universe.
