I think this was great, though i heavily disagree with people comparing it to re4 since it does have similar mechanics (like merchant) but i still feel re8 stands out in its own game.

The bosses were done so well, every boss segment had its own lore which made them more interesting. Though i did feel Heisenberg lair was a bit tedious with a few cheap scares and felt too long yet rewarding when you approach and finish his boss fight. Art direction was fantastic, every shift in boss segment was done so well, i really enjoyed house of beneviento, truly emphasised horror.

I also surprisingly liked Chris’s segment, learning about mother Miranda's lore really intrigued me, it was a little action heavy but i felt it make sense lore wise.

Despite all that i didn't feel like it was enough to get more than 4 stars, there were still aspects that were lacking, like the enemies and the puzzles, i just felt they were rather just there and rather repetitive and dull. the lycans always gave a cheap scare, and just felt repetitive to kill.

otherwise i still found village to be a good game
