I think it's a very fun RE I'd liken to a theme park. A fitting game to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Resident Evil. Every area wants you to play differently. The village is RE4, the mansion is RE1 with RE2/3 tyrant, the dollhouse feels like an atmospheric horror game, the swamp is RE5, the factory is RE5, and the Chris section is Chris from RE6. Saying it's derivative is accurate and respectful to what it wants to do. And it nails it. I enjoyed my time with it
