This is my very first Resident Evil game, and while I think that it's a pretty fun experience overall, the game itself has some major flaws.
It mostly suffers from pacing issues, and it feels like it doesn't know what it wants to be, it mixes action and horror in such a bizarre way, but it's not a good action game nor a good horror game either.
I absolutely adore the Eastern European/Gothic Horror setting with the vampires and the werewolves, it's excellent. Most areas are incredibly detailed, the atmosphere is disturbing, and the buildings look very beautiful.
I have to say, the gameplay mechanics are better than I expected, the game is fun to play, the guns feel and sound satisfying, and there is a good variety of tools to use.
Ι found most of the characters to be quite annoying, except from few of them that were lowkey entertaining, the Four Lords are overall intimidating and pretty much the highlight of the game.
The writing is very amateurish and straight up bad, there aren't any peaks in the story and it's very short, personally it took me around 8 hours to finish it, and I think some areas should have been expanded, especially the castle.
Lastly, the dialogue is very cheesy and sometimes the game takes itself too seriously for no reason, which hurts the overall tone, specifically in the second half of the story, there are some questionable moments that take away the immersion completely.
I really appreciate the effort that was put into the game though, the Dimitrescu Castle looks great, there are many areas to explore, the environment looks really nice, the village is cool and there are many things to do in it, decent amount of details here and there, I honestly enjoyed it a lot, it really is a well crafted game after all.
Final Rating: "Decent" ~ 6/10.
