6.5/10 for RE8
4/10 for the dlc
RE8 is quite different from its predecessor in some aspects, there's more exploration now, way more fights, you'll have tons of ammo most of the time and it feels WAY less scarier overall.
I think the story is okay, it starts strong but then it never really reaches that same level again for almost the entire game. The Dimitrescu family was poorly used. Ethan talks more now which is very nice and adds more to his character. Chris was also cool. I'd have liked some more Mia but whatever.
The core gameplay is very similar to 7's but it was fine, I didn't mind it. There's now a merchant where you can buy or sell stuff and upgrade your weapons like in RE4. There's a large area you can explore for some extra rewards, I only did some stuff, it was okay. Imo the game not feeling scary for 95% of the time takes a lot away from it. The boss battles here are in a bigger scale which may not please everyone, I was fine with it for the most part.
The main game is fine, nothing amazing like RE7 was but it's fun for the most part, I didn't really like how much more action oriented although it did fit with the story.
The level design is quite good! I only got lost once and it was because the map was not helping at all lol.
The enemy design is fine, some are generic and others are very cool.
Now, the dlc was all over the place. The story had some very strange twists and boring gameplay sections that made me never wanna replay it again. The gameplay was ok, the stealth parts were super boring, damn.
I expected wayyy more of it.
