Well, it’s an ok action survival game, but any resemblances to previous Resident Evils is purely coincidental. There is definitely less of a survival horror element to this installment. Lots of cutscenes, LOTS of action. The puzzle solving element is almost entirely absent. Instead, pretty linear gameplay…
Lack of weapon upgrades, a proper RE saving system and inventory screen, make this a bit of a clunker. Sure you can play co-op, but that’s not what this game originated as. It lessens the ability of the player, and makes them more reliant on quick saves from their teammates, thus reducing the need to think of what inventory you have on hand. Plus zombies in this installment are just plain annoying, as they take several rounds to take them down.
Overall, it’s still RE, just not as good as other installments.
Good for RE completists only.
