Christ what a game.

It's very surprising to me how much they throw at the wall with this in terms of the horror genre and just how much of it actually sticks. It feels like a near full return to resident evil's batshit form, especially within the last section of the game.

Personal highlights for me have got to be Castle Dimitrescu and House Beneviento. I feel like these first two areas are where the game is at it's strongest, really setting the atmosphere perfectly.

That being said however I just wish we got a little more time to know more about the main antagonists of the game and the actual village itself. I still don't really know what was going on with Mother Miranda and I feel as if I barely learned anything else about Donna Beneviento other than ooooo she has some fucked up and evil dolls oooooo.

Heisenberg calling Chris a "boulder-punching asshole" is probably the most important part of the game tbh.

Agree with this entire review, but I think Beneviento got fleshed out with some notes nearby her area - iirc her backstory is that she had a facial deformity and a developmental disability, lost her parents and husband, and then her daughter died in 1998 (the gravestone treasure is not her name), which left her alone with her caretaker. Then Mrs. Underveloped Main Antagonist gave her hallucination juice and she went "hey let's go all-in on the dolls!"
