"What happened to your face??" - Greg Giraldo, Roast of Flava Flav (2007).

Sadistic, breaking the entire carton of eggs just to even think about making the omelet. I'm with others on the opinion that this should have been an epilogue in the base game - but it being a free update mostly fixes that imo. Chris' redesign is scarier than the monsters in this one! That being said though, good ole' Redfield is my favorite RE character - so seeing his story be continued in a productive (albeit truncated) way here in the franchise's new direction was awesome. I just can't get enough of his quintessential do-gooder mixed with a vial of steroids persona, and his gameplay here feels like a fitting change from Ethan's - with more of a focus on almost RE6-style fleshy military combat, and noticeable changes to the mechanics in a way that makes this feel like its own thing while still retaining what made RE7 so good. "Think we did any good here?" Hell yeah, brother.
