Decided to give this one a go in split screen co op after playing it single player a few years back, and man, I ended up liking it a lot less. I think the encounters feel way too overtuned for two human players vs a human and an AI buddy, and it turned huge sections of the game into an absolute slog. The Wesker fights also stuck out as some of the worst bits in any of the games I’ve played in this franchise, they’re just really obtuse and more tedious than anything once you understand what it wants from you. I do still really fuck with the core gameplay, and there’s aspects of the co op that are great - the inventory management, the melee combos, and a lot of little organic moments of saving your partners ass at the last second, but overall I’m feeling a lot more down on it than I had in the past.
