I think a lot of people exaggerate the problems with this game and hate it to an unhealthy level because at the end of the day it's just a weaker RE2R and that's not something to start riots over.

That said, it CAN'T be overstated just how much of a wasted opportunity Nemesis was. Instead of making the ultimate stalker enemy(something I think Capcom has still failed to truly do, despite trying it many times), they instead make Jill and Nemesis partake in a bunch of trite "set piece" moments that have zero tension and are too obviously scripted to be of any enjoyment. Instead of fearing Nemesis, I would just always dread seeing him appear in a cutscene because it meant I was gonna have to do another boring chase scene. This game was clearly made on a smaller budget than RE2R and they sure didn't make the best use of those resources.

Resident Evil: Resistance is unironically the best part of this package. Shame Capcom gave up on it so quickly.
