I have played this game a lot since the day it first dropped, and I've come to the ultimate conclusion that I don't really care for it much. I adored RE7 when I played that game, I thought it was a perfect masterpiece at the time (not so much now but it is a really good game,) but something went wrong here. I was expecting another survival horror game for the sequel to a survival horror game. What I got instead was an action game that desperately wanted to be Resident Evil 4. It didn't work. The game is fun and perfectly fine, but it's not what I wanted it to be, and it lacks soul and is incredibly forgettable due to that. The ending also sucks. To rub salt even further into the wound, 4 Remake has since released and does everything this game tried to do but better and in a way that feels natural. This would be the worst modern RE title if 3 Remake didn't exist.
