really love how detailed, cramped, and gross the baker property is but unfortunately everything after the old house completely loses me. lucas dollar store jigsaw chapter and the long, overly dramatic final chapter completely change the setting and horror into something else altogether and its way worse. only bit i liked was seeing jack remorseful to ethan in the mold afterlife or whatever.

could definitely all be my personal taste, expectations, and lack of resident evil experience but this really disappointed me. still will definitely check out other games in the series though, there's a lot of good shit here

a complete joy to play because of the vastly improved combat over 7, incredible cast, and loads of side content. unfortunately the story doesn't really deliver on everything it sets out do to, which is a disappointment. the ending insert song scene was still very powerful to me but would've had 10x more impact if they set it up better. still, love the itchy balls gang so much and look forward to them visiting toronto, canada in like a dragon 9!

also the dlc is scummy as shit and after skimming through a playthrough it doesn't even look any good lol
