Comparisions to the original RE4 and the game being made Shinji Mikami himself, kind of made me really hyped for this. I played around ~5 hours and I did really dig the atmosphere and what was shown story wise. Sadly I think it in general just controls very clunky, which wouldnt be too much of a problem, if the combat was at least fun. Fighting and killing enemies didnt feel satisfying at all unlike other more action-focused games in the genre. Fights in general rather felt like a chore than actually a fun activity. You do get a good amount of ammo especially when stealthing enemies but its not really useful, if using it isnt fun at all.

The game just feels like it tried to mix inspirations from a lot of horror games but wasnt able to do any of them really good (but not really bad either).
Might come to it one day for the story, since that actually seemed like a very interesting part, but the rest of the game sadly was a lackluster so far.

PS: The PC port on steam is fucking terrible
