While many would characterise this game as pretentious and self-indulgent, to me Subarashiki Hibi is a work of endless passion and emotion, a love letter to life itself, showing that despite living in a world full of abhorrent evils, we truly are lucky to be experiencing life through our flawed, yet distinctly human qualia.

I'm a person who responds most to the raw emotional force projected by media, and by the end, Subahibi felt like taking a direct injection of the entire spectrum of human emotions all at once. You'll laugh, cry, recoil in horror and probably want to take a cold shower, yet it all comes together in a video game that will undoubtedly keep me up at night for a long while to come. Simply one of the best pieces of media I've ever experienced.

(Also has one of the best OSTs in a video game ever)

I appreciate what this game did to reinvigorate the Resident Evil franchise and bring it back to its horror roots, but now the dust has settled it's obvious this game hasn't aged very well. With a great introduction that soon devolves into fairly tedious hide & seek and puzzle solving, which then leads into unsatisfying combat sequences followed by an equally unsatisfying conclusion, this game's great moments are ultimately marred by all of the dull, boring ones.

Even so, I can't say I hated this game. It's decent. Just if you've played any of the recent RE games from RE2 Remake onwards, be prepared for a much more uneven, flawed experience.
