This game took awhile for me to beat just because I either had stuff to do or got overly anxious with Mr. X chasing you, but I buckled down and finally beat both Leon and Claire's playthroughs.
Survival Horror isn't exactly the kind of game I play often, but I feel like I get the appeal more. I like being able to plan my routes from room to room, all the while trying to preserve my ammo or use some other tactics to get through unscathed.
With Mr. X on my tail, the game's chaser basically, it made things all the more tense, but I've come to appreciate that about him, especially in the Claire playthrough where he's present not even 10 minutes into her story, which makes getting through the first section nerve wracking. Considering this was my 2nd playthrough, that makes sense.
Between the two, I think I like Claire as a character just a bit more than Leon, but I still love the two of them. If I had to say which campaign I liked more though, it would probably be Leon, just because I think his diversions throughout the areas were kind of neat, and I like Ada's hacking stuff more than the stealth section with Sherry.
Overall, I like this game, it looks as pretty as it is grotesque (and honestly some gorey bits are just fucking appalling), I like the story at hand from both character's perspectives, though I don't think it's a lot to ride home about, and uhh, yeah I had fun. Glad I broke out of my comfort zone, especially since the game I played before was Kirby, which is much more my jam.
I will say, I really do wanna play the RE 3 remake sooner or later because I know that still centers around Raccoon City, specifically with Jill getting out before it gets destroyed, and I wanna see what she's like. I also wanna play 7 and 8 eventually... Probably won't be for a bit, especially since I wanna play the RE4 Remake first, but whatever.
