i understand how this is essentially the spiritual successor to resident evil 4 but i cannot get past the aspect ratio and the combat. while i do feel desperate (WHICH IS A GOOD THING) in terms of supplies and firepower, the labored animations and clumsily slow pace of combat make the game feel less like the natural and organic yet unsure movement style of a game like alien isolation and more like a tech demo that is still a work in progress. i also had major gripes with how much the letterboxed aspect ratio limited visibility, especially in the earlier parts of the game where looking over walls and through windows is CRUCIAL, but you sort of begrudgingly get used to it as the game goes on.
