This game is very good. It gets some inspiration from resident evil 4, which is a good thing. The graphics are very good, gunplay feels solid. I like the upgrade guns and personal sat system which rewards multiple throughs. The only issue I really had with the game was the story. I won’t ruin it but it doesn’t feel like resident evil to me. Resident evil has experimented with different concepts like los plagas and that was fine for me. The games still felt grounded in reality. This game starts to hit sci-fi realms. I like sci-fi but with so many games grounded in our reality it’s hard to accept this as a true Resident Evil game. It is still a great game non the less and I have enjoyed the game on multiple play throughs. When I compare it to resident evil remake 2 however it falls short of a five star rating in my opinion.

This pains me to say this. But this movie absolutely sucks and there’s a hollow shell of its original. The movie tries to consistently hit you with member berry pies it shows you what is happening in the new movie and then it shows you what looked like in the old movie. Which In that case I’ll just watch the superior older movie and not this one. There’s only one character that actually seems interesting and oddly enough it’s the newer character Neo is like a boring piece of cardboard and Trinity is not Trinity for most of the movie. The new movie is very uninspiring it’s not interesting at all the characters live only to tell the plot. At the end of the movie I literally said what the hell did I just watch I was in shock and how poor the movie was. The matrix trilogy is iconic and it’s just so sad to see that the only way they can make this movie is to mimic their former selves and do it in such a poor way. I was very excited to see this movie and it’s possible that some of my excitement led to my disappointment it’s hard to say I am a fan of the old movies but my recommendation is if you like the old matrix movies just go and watch those this new one probably won’t interest most matrix fans which I hate saying.

This is a fantastic game. It takes the classic survival horror element and modernizes it for the current generation. This game has something for the old school to be satisfied while still pulling in new players, that is hard to do. This game has toppled my favorite Resident Evil game RE4. The story has been tweaked but the changes are welcome and the story stays true to the original. The graphics are top notch, puzzles are great and gunplay feels solid. There is only one issue I had more of an annoyance was mr x. I personally would have had him randomized attacks during the story to keep the player on their toes. I was not a fan of the stalking it felt like he was really just impending my progress more than anything. I would have saved the stalking for nemesis since he was more known for that. Regardless of mr x I still give this game a perfect score as everything else is fantastic. I enjoyed the game even more with the old music from the original resident evil 2, it added to the atmosphere and tension. Capcom has been on a roll lately and if they remake resident 4 like they did this one it may once again take the crown. Until then resident evil 2 remake is the best resident evil in my book.

This game kind of gets a bad reputation, I do understand why, but I still like the game. Resident evil 3 was a pretty large game with multiple locations. This game cuts a lot of these locations and it doesn’t feel like a full game, more like an expansion. I believe the game should have come out at $30- $40 for that reason. This game has weapon unlocks and stat boosters for Jill which warrant multiple play throughs and add replay ability. This game is more action oriented than resident evil 2 remake. This stays somewhat true to the old games story, however the are practically no puzzles here unfortunately. Resident Evil 3 on PlayStation also had a choice system when nemesis arrived, that impacted future scenarios. This is all absent in the remake as well. Compared to resident evil 3 on PlayStation, it is less than, no doubt. I am judging the game on its own merit for my score. I did have a lot of fun with the game and have played it multiple times alongside resident evil 2 remake. The combat is tight and satisfying, there is a sense of tension and eeriness throughout the game which stays till the end. This game offers a short but tight experience that keeps you engaged the whole way. There wasn’t a point where I’m like can’t wait to get through this section. I really enjoyed the story and gameplay and have replayed it many times because of it. I also enjoyed Jill’s character very much in this story, she’s tough. Jill also has a small arc in the story, Carlos is well written as well . Like I said if you pay $30 to $40 I think it’s worth it. If you pay $60 or compare it to resident evil 3 on PlayStation, you might feel somewhat disappointed.
