Loved every minute of it. Same fixed camera gameplay as the previous games, but even more pleasant to play due to improved graphics on a more powerful hardware. Actual 3D environment adds a lot to the visuals, walking around with a lighter in unlit areas felt really atmospheric.
The vibe and the setting is really cool and terrifying, the game overall was more of a horror than RE3, which leans towards the action. Chris and Clare make a great duo and I think they both are quite underrated compared to Leon and Jill.
The challenge was just right, at least for me. People kept saying that the game is too hard, they all getting soft locked, so I prepared for worst - tried to be careful with health items, ammo and stuff then it's suddenly the end of the game and I have a shitton of it in my chest. Didn't even have to run past monsters without killing them or abuse the knife much.

Long story short, Code Veronica is my favourite Resident Evil so far. That might change after I play the remake of the original game though.
