As much as I love the Resident Evil series and I enjoyed a ton Revelations 1, I can't recomment this one for a couple of reasons, and specially not if this will be your first experience with Resident Evil.
While the game is fun to play, there is a "gimmick" of switching between two stories, which starts becoming a hassle and certainly made the game less enjoyable, at least for me, mainly because you will see yourself playing through all the levels TWICE, one with claire and one with Barrie, sort of the two main characters in this game, although you will control more.
And the other gimmick of this game is that you will be controlling two characters, but the secondary character ends up only being a "find hidden amo or hp" gameplay which you should been able to do just with the main character; oh and also, you can play coop with a friend on splitscreen but because of this only one person will get to "play" because one will be shooting whilst the other will be just carring a flashlight or /literally) pointing the finger at things, which I guess is an addition nontheless but clearly one will get to have most of the fun.
The story is kinda there, it's not bad but also very zombie generic, also worth mentioning is, this game comes from a period of time where games tried to be tv shows and therefore follows the "episodic game" trend like Life is Strange, so keep in mind that if buying the game, because unless you buy all the chapters you will only get to play the first chapter.
Other thing that caught my eye is that the game doesn't really look that good for a 2015 AAA game, neither in level design nor in graphical phidelity, and it still runs like crap.
Although, in the end, if you like Resident Evil like me, yeah, you will get some enjoyement here and there, even if the game drags and constantly repeats levels; but if this will be one of your first time playing a Resident Evil just go play RE2 Remake or Revelations, and stay away from this mess of a game.

I played it like a month ago with my father. I enjoyed the suspense but there were a lot of moments in which i ran out of ideas and did have to check my pal youtube to be able to complete it. Anyway, DO play it at night. It definitely hypes the experience up. Nothing spectacular, but entertaining if you want to chill for a while and have a weekend to spend.
Como me fascina este título. Uno de los mejores Residents, en esa época oscura donde la gente quería verla ya acabada. En cuanto argumento me parece bastante bueno, pero incluso se le podría haber desarrollado un poco más.Luego en apartado técnico se ve genial. A la hora de jugarlo, tiene esos toques que te hace recordar a los Resis clásicos. Aquí se nota con diferencia la escasez en munición. También te presenta distintos finales que deberás realizar diferentes acciones para conseguir un final.Se me olvidaba, también contiene distintos dlcs que te narran acontecimientos de la historia principal.
Claire and Barry are back, what more do you need? Honestly a huge improvement over the first game, though it still has some issues with character writing (Claire feels out of character to me, Barry's perfect though). Way more puzzles and a slower pace that makes it feel much more like the classic REs, while also having great gunplay that's infinitely better than REv1.
Played in co-op, once again. In this game, unlike RE5 and RE6, the partner character is very... unique. Moira doesn't use guns and Natalia is literally a child who can "sense" where enemies are. They both can also point at shinies to discover hidden items, which is a better take on the first game's Genesis (at least in co-op, where you don't have to switch characters). These asymmetric abilities made the campaign pretty interesting to co-op through, specially collectibles hunting as each character has their own collectibles basically.
I honestly don't have anything big to complain about with this one. Maybe the fact that it's a lot easier to get the bad ending than the good ending.
