Boasts some of the best and most atmospheric first-person gameplay that I've ever seen, yet also some of the most underwhelming boss fights and frustratingly designed levels that we've seen in any Resident Evil video game. There's a lot to love especially in just how playing the game feels like; but all these good elements that this game boasts never really reach their full potential because the lack of challenge in most of these boss fights really takes away from the urgency in just about every other factor here.

I don't think I can talk about the ending without saying what hasn't already been said, but it's where the game becomes at its most frustrating. The entire ship sequence is hard to navigate and it just gets really boring walking through it numerous times and the constant enemy appearances become less scary than they do annoying. To an extent I can say this does apply to the enemies in the rest of the game, but the manner in which they appear can be too unforgiving for their own good - and while much of Resident Evil is built around resource management, there's an extent where this ends up becoming a bit too much.

Still, I enjoyed playing this fine enough but the more it went on, the harder it became for me to say I loved it.

Worst game I ever played.
A boring, terribly paced dumpster fire that progressively gets worse.
None of the characters are interesting or worth caring about, they're all 2 dimensional and boring and it is impossible to care about them because of how badly they are written.
There is no real chemistry between the main cast, it feels like they are held together by duct tape, they don't feel like an actual friend group but rather people that gather together just to talk with the protagonist.
It's also terribly easy, there is not a single fight that is challenging even on the merciless difficulty, a massive step down from the previous entries. Most encounters end within seconds and you don't even have to make use of the weakness system to defeat them in one turn.
Soundtrack is good though
