Played this on the PS4 and boy this games so good. The gameplay and the gunplay is so restricting and annoying and yet somehow soooo addictive and fun, idk what it is but the combat in the game is simply excellent.
The general tone and the characters are excellent, they are goofy but in a good way I think. The opening of the game is very suspenseful, tense and scary. One of the best openings to any game ever I think. It’s brilliant in the way it builds intrigue, tension and sets the tone. As the game goes on I found it getting goofier and more explosive and less focused on the scares which I didn’t mind at all cos there are some seriously sweaty sections of the game with some of the best and most varied enemy design in any game Ive played.
The bosses are well done for the most part, I can’t think of one that I hated, some of them get quite creative too.
Leon is way more confident in this than he is in re2 I feel. To match with the kind of action hero archetype that he is in this game, but he sells it well and he’s like comically badass at points, like someone will die in front of his eyes and he‘l make a sarcastic comment which I found extremely entertaining.
I think my one issue with game is when you play on higher difficulties, Ashley can be sooooo fucking annoying to deal with. But other than that, 10/10 it basically spawned a whole new genre of games too so...
