Veers a bit too far into the modern AAA "cinematic experience" trend for my taste.

The gunplay here is poor and unsatisfying, which is unfortunate, as you'll be dumping plenty of magazines into all the slow-moving bullet sponges you encounter on your journey to the next "epic" setpiece moment. Likewise, the puzzles are also unsatisfying, as they are generally pretty basic and don't require much thought.

Storywise, it's unremarkable for the genre. It leans in on campiness to make up for the lackluster scenario, but this didn't work for me. I just found the protagonist's constant quips after big moments to be cringe-worthy more often than not. It ended up leaving me annoyed with the person I was playing as anytime he opened his mouth.

I've honestly never really been a fan of Resident Evil, and this didn't change that. But hey, at least I tried?
