If the base Resident Evil 7 is Angel Heart, then this is Hobo with a Shotgun - guffaw as you eat worms, chuck spears at gators, have bare-knuckle boxing matches with swamp creatures, and 'splode through rows of enemy heads with an electronic Iron Man fist attachment. A totally unpretentious crowd-pleaser of an expansion, think Barry's sections in Resident Evil: Revelations 2 if they were good. Like Not A Hero the combat here has been completely overhauled from the base game, much more methodical this time around - very tight windows of opportunity that don't leave much room for error. Joe Baker as a protagonist is a gift that keeps on giving, I want more of him! While this is all very productively hokey, it still retains the base's bleak themes of civilian minds being betrayed by corporate recklessness - your life will be upended in a curdled attempt to stop other 'more important' lives from being upended, so pure that your body even rots differently. Simultaneously a meat tenderizer to the brain and a twinkle of hope in the fungal cesspool. Biggest flaw is how short it is, and level design leaves something to be desired.
