What I did like:

- This game looks great. The look and feel is very similar to Resident Evil 2 which I had a lot of fun with.
- The RE Engine having a great time rendering Carlos's hair.

What I didn't like:

- The length. I know this is a common criticism of this game, but wow. My total playtime was around 5hrs, and whereas with a game like Journey, which I could replay infinitely, this game does not grip me enough to want to try multiple playthroughs.
- More focus on set pieces and less focus on horror. Residnt Evil 2 was overwhelmingly atmospheric. I jumped a few times with 3, but enough times I could count on my hand. The Nemesis encounters were more annoying than they were scary, which I heard is a significant difference from the original.
