I don’t understand why some players complain that RE Village is campy and has a lot of shooting. Like RE Village isn’t a true RE game. Or why someone is bashing Mikami for the pacing in Evil Within 2?
RE4 is an action game in the first place, and only then it’s a horror (?).


It's hard to judge the game since it's been almost 20 years (!!!) since its release. I can see if I had played this game when I was back in school - I would love it.
Now, after many other RE games behind - it's hard to distinguish this one from others.
The only thing that stands out is the overall game design which is still in use in many other games. 3rd person camera from a shoulder + save points + pacing + horror. The blueprint has been used a lot since then. So from the pure anthropological perspective - it was an interesting experience.
And I'm still convinced that The Evil Within 2 is the best Mikami game since RE4.
