This wasn't as scary as 7 was but it made up for that in so many other areas.
The atmosphere and locations of the game are absolutely phenomenal for a Resident Evil game. I absolutely loved the Village and all of the locations you visit throughout the playthrough. They really did manage to blend together a mixture of RE 7 and 4 perfectly, I'm not sure if that was their intention but it feels like it was.

All the buzz surrounding Lady D was bizarre, I found her to be one of the lamest characters in the game. The 3 sisters you encounter in the same location were much better.

I still couldn't get attached to Ethan as a character. I didn't ever feel like I was playing as Ethan. Just some faceless character. Might be down to the first person thing or maybe just Ethan is a lame character, I dunno. The story is pretty good overall though, I loved the little notes that reveal more and more lore.

I'm excited to see the direction Capcom take this trilogy in and even more excited to see where the series goes beyond that. I feel like the RE engine has potential for some really incredible stuff after playing Village.
