Replaying.
Okay, after getting through Chapter 5 I can confirm: this game rocks. Yes it is not proper resident evil, yes the plot fucking sucks, yes their are plots that should not exist.
That being said, from a strictly gameplay perspective this has a great loop. If this wasn’t an RE title it would be a cult classic of the 360 era akin to something like Binary Domain. Gunplay feels great here, treasure system is fun (though I do miss the combinable/puzzle like treasures of 4), and the quick swap system for weapons really lets you lean into the combat. Biggest issues with this is are the bosses are all kind of boring and their are too many sections where you don’t do anything even though it is very much an action game.
Also, Wesker is so cool in this one. Just completely over the top master of camp.
