Very much like an alternate timeline sequel to Resident Evil 4. Lots of nice spiritual parallels to RE and Silent Hill, but also interesting and quite ugly in its own unique way. Between some very video gamey action sequences, it often feels like intruding on someone else’s nightmares. I enjoyed the shifts between set pieces, the way the world would, fall apart and throw you somewhere new. Companions disappear and reappear similarly, maybe more just at the convenience of the plot than for dramatic effect. That all makes up for the more questionable narrative so you don’t have to think about it too much.
