Hitman if you were on LSD

Really good entry point for modern Resident Evil as the characters are all new, the controls are modernised & the visuals are really good for a game from 2017

If you're anything like me this will be your first time really getting into Resident Evil and the way you play it is a nice change of pace. Resident Evil doesn't play like most games you will have experienced so it's nice to remember what games are all about, mixing things up and having fun.

I do think the last 30% of the game however is pretty dull and I did just want it to be over with at that point

Under sells on the "build-crafting" claim which they talked about a LOT in advertisement material

Leans heavily into the PvE side of this PvPvE game with most "build-crafting" effects being either "on kill" or "when you kill AI enemy" this leaves just about every PvP encounter feeling the same since most effects won't do anything until the fight is already over and the PvE effects are just boring/unimpactful "Enemy drop ammo on kill" kinda nice, but very dull for example

You don't feel like you're "building" you just feel like you're "upgrading" so I am heavily disappointed that most equipment is something like "Ability hits slightly harder & now pings" or "get some cooldown reduction when you execute player" so many of these either just raise a number or don't help you in a fight they just help you get into the next fight sooner, which will probably be against bots since it leans so heavily into PvE. One of the rarest possible things you can get is "Your grappling hook can now be used twice" which, while nice, is not exactly peak creativity when they claimed gold rarity mods would be game changing and said something along the lines of "we can't wait to see of the creative builds players will come up with" I did expect actually creative mods to then use with other mods and make my own build/playstyle

Performance is also quite bad as I can't seem to get higher than 80fps with medium settings

They also had way cooler ideas for the game before leadership changes when you would make "Your runner" and it would have seemingly been a lot more creative, but new leadership wanted generic hero shooter mechanics, which I'm not actually having a bad time with, but it's such a downgrade from what we could have had

Finally the in game purchases are very predatory with items costing something like 1120 in game currency but you can only buy 1100 or 2000 so you pushes you to spend more in a game you already paid for. The battle pass is mostly flat recolours of the base looks also overpriced if you ask me.
(Edit: They did change this partly recently so you can now buy 1120, much better, but the intent was there)



Overall I'm severely disappointed & I feel like they did not change much from the Betas and don't make enough changes based on community feedback (There are a lot of UI issues). The "build-crafting" claims were just false or maybe they just lack creativity in this area and the game did not even release in a full state as you had to wait a day or so for the 3rd map to be added and they're still not releasing the 4th map yet, both were playable in beta.

Comes with pretty bad looking skins and the pass, which is also really bad. You only get one full body skin out of it and most of the weapons are just flat colour changes

For the first day of release it didn't even work you'd buy this and get nothing, who's to say it won't do that again when you buy it?

Low quality + high price = avoid

My most played Souls title, so much time spend doing PVP

(400+ hours on console)

I love this game. At times it feels like one of those Dark Fantasy AI vids if you ever knew that trend.

(100+ hours on console)

Probably the best combat and skill tree systems in the whole series, worst everything else

Only play if you don't care about a main story or meaningful loot drops, just play for brainless fighting and to get ur gambling addiction fix since "legendaries" in this game become more common than commons very early on


Listen to ur own music instead of listening to the main quest-line, side quests can be ok at least they're more bearable to do

(I also have 85+ hours on console)

Dark gritty & Atmospheric

My favourite part is the difficulty which lets me hit really hard, but enemies just as hard. I can sneak up on just about anyone who isn't wearing top tear armour and head shot one shot, but if someone sneaks up on me I also get blasted in one shot, keeps you alert and makes combat feel fun/intense.

Every weapon has it's use case and it's up to you to determine what you carry into your next shoot-out as the wrong tool will only weigh you down.

Looks nice, but runs bad.

It's been about 6 months now and we got 2 small patches. There are so many game breaking bugs I could not finish The Arena questline as I was a summoner and summoning armour while in The Arena breaks the questline for some reason?? and I had to mod the game to fix this.

If you're having this bug use the "Unlocked Arena" mod by J3w3ls on Nexus Mods I had to figure this out myself at launch


Also they made some changes from the original like removing stamina based damage so now many enchantment effects are useless this takes away from skill expression as all you do now is mash M1 until you win or lose... very boring and I can't find a mod that brings this mechanic back :(


Otherwise fun for a bit, but the game itself has a rather boring open world to explore, dungeons suck, quests can be fun though just do those.

Cool game I just want more enchantment effects and different looking equipment as it can feel very samey between runs quite often. Just more options over all, but still a good game
