Uninspired, bullet-sponge enemies, flat boss fights, an annoying "hold button to use a power to do a simple thing" time-wasting mechanic that AAA games love to do for some reason, and a pretty empty storyline (until the end) which frustratingly does nothing more than the base game to set up a sequel. It's a bland character study with blander gameplay, though because it reuses the base game's locations, a few flashes of that goofy magic remains, and if nothing else, it provides some closure to Village's somewhat abrupt ending of the Winters' storyline. Fails as an action game, middling as a horror game, and maybe slightly above average as a character piece (sadly), but if you have any interest in RE7 or *8* lore, it has some nice touches.
