god i love the resident evil universe. films and games, who with me?

the way these stories unfold is just chefs kiss. i was a bit hesitant at first given the differences to the og games (ive only played 1 & 2 remasters so far), but that faded quick once the story got its fangs in.

the story is the gameplay is the story. everything falls into place so seamlessly beat after beat, at your own hands, elevating it from merely surviving (which in lesser games just means overcoming the scary shit) to STRIVING, striving to beat that puzzle you got stuck on, striving to blast all the eyeballs off that boss so you can get that new cutscene for your story fix, striving to live!

no guarantee that the same foe will go down the same way twice, and fear achieved through a great story rather than cheap jumpscares. that's the type of shit that makes you forget its just games, when that gun in your hand starts feeling like your lifeline rather than a shooty thing with unlim ammo.

this is that interactive art i'm looking for!
