RE8 has been enjoyable I was unsure how I was going to like it due to conflicting friends reviews. The first thing that caught my attention was the sheer majesty and beauty of Dimitrescu castle, the interiors and winding hallways, hidden rooms, all of it was beautiful. The environment as a whole is stunning. I love the attention to detail, right down to the light fixtures and gilded rooms. Lady Dimitrescu is pretty awesome, the four lords are kinda like this small pantheon that you have to take down, I loved the scene where you meet them.

the boss battles are classic resident evil. The plot is still RE, obviously more reminiscent of RE7 and RE4. The cringey dialogue and outlandish plot points are still there. The obese Duke is cool. I like having the merchant back and I’m glad he’s friends with our old merchant.

Donna Beneviento and her doll Angie were creepy. I liked the boss battle, not using weapons and having to solve a puzzle. I like the village being a kind of game hub and the call back to RE4.

Heisenbergs mechanical nightmare was my second favourite location of the game. The boss battle was my favourite.
The ending was good, Ethan Winters is cemented as a great RE character now.
My only concern is that the next RE will be full action, so I hope they maintain what they have going.
