This review contains spoilers
I played this game with a friend who had already played and knew what to do, which made everything SIGNIFICANTLY easier. That being said;
Right off the bat, this game has horrible controls. Some of the worst I've dealt with ever. Though, I was playing on mouse and keyboard. Even after getting used to the controls, it's kind of a painful experience.
That being said, this game made me laugh so much, more than almost any other game I've played, because of how ridiculous it can be. The ability to be almost constantly screaming at your partner to come help you do things (open doors, move objects, etc.) is absolutely fucking hilarious sometimes. Also, if you're on mouse and keyboard, you don't get some of the quick-time events that controller players get, leading to some extremely confusing moments where either Chris or Sheva will just fucking die during a cutscene. This isn't even touching on the story, which at some points had me genuinely laughing out loud by how absurd everything was.
The story is, well.. something. I can't quite tell if I like or dislike it considering how out there it is. !!Spoilers, the coast is clear at the next set of exclamation points. About halfway through the game, Sheva just kind of becomes irrelevant to the plot, but she's still there. This causes some awkward moments where she just... stands there... while no one acknowledges her? This can also be extremely funny at points.!!
!!More spoilers. At one point in the game, you have to fight Jill and Wesker after she's been mind controlled, or something. During this fight, you're supposed to shoot Wesker. You aren't told this (but I suppose it's pretty heavily implied now that I think about it). The first thing I did was murder Jill, which ends your game (“Your partner died”). When this happened, my friend and I laughed for about 5-7 minutes straight because holy shit, I just fucking killed Jill!? !! Some points really are so cursed, it’s amazing to think someone actually cleared the script.
This game probably doesn't deserve even 3 stars, HOWEVER, I had a lot of fun playing it with my friend, and the progression is pretty decent which made it fun to go back to.
