Not terrible but definitely the weakest of the newer RE entries. A side from it's length (the game only took me 3 hours to beat), the game is incredibly linear and is too much of a blockbuster spectacle filled with scripted events and moments where the game pretty much gives infinite ammo and health and asks you to mindlessly mow down a wave of enemies. I enjoy these kinds of games from time to time (i.e. Far Cry) but it's not something I want from an RE game. When I play an RE I want resource management, metroidvania-like level design and excellent atmosphere. These elements are still there in very vague chunks, but it's heavily toned down compared to the other games.

There were also frustrating moments throughout, especially during boss fights, where I would get stun locked by at least two enemies ganging up on me, instantly killing me. Not fun. The dodge mechanic didn't do much either, it was really unresponsive and I never found much use for it.

The game just isn't scary, and I think that's my main problem with it. You always have an overabundance of health and ammo and there was too much action to soak into any eerie atmosphere.

I don't care what people say about this game, I really liked it! Short and fun.
