A great new take on the resident Evil franchise which was starting to get really stale with the action heavy focus that begun with 4. The first person perspective and haunting backwoods setting really amps up the horror that was missing in 5 & 6 as does its emphasis on fewer combat encounters and building atmosphere and tension. I havent played the DLC but it doesnt quite land the ending the way it wants to and the final boss encounter is a bit lackluster. But overall, a great new direction for a classic series and a fantastic survival horror game in its own right.
