The weakest Resident Evil Remake so far, it feels a little bit underwhelming but it's still entertaining even though some later parts drag on.
First things first, the game is very linear and always holds the player's hand, especially in the first few hours, you literally just walk forward to watch cutscenes and interact with some things now and then.
Overall, the game almost feels like a stand-alone expansion in so many ways, there's no innovation, and also it's not really scary, the hospital section is a bit creepy and has a nice dark atmosphere, but some of the puzzles are quite tedious.
What I liked the most is the core gameplay, it's overall an enjoyable game, the shooting feels satisfying, and the evade mechanic helps a lot, Jill's movement is perfect and works well with the gameplay mechanics.
The characters are okay, I really liked Jill, she's very cute and badass, and her animations look smooth and adorable, she's pretty much the star of the show. Carlos is a cool companion and has the stronger weapons, playing as him made the game more fun.
Backtracking feels nice, the areas are a bit short but there's a good amount of exploration, you can find collectibles, resources, notes that give the story more depth and just random small little secrets.
It's worth mentioning that the story is sadly very uninteresting, incredibly short, predictable with a terrible antagonist, and a lot of cut content. Lastly, Nemesis is unfortunately just some scripted sequences, and the boss fights are very disappointing. I really like his new design and voice though, he looks menacing and scary.
In the end, I really wanted to like this game, and I kind of did... I mean, my thoughts about it are mostly positive, but it could've been so much more. Regardless, I had afun time playing though it even though it has some serious flaws.
Final Rating: "Decent" ~ 6/10.
