So, I'm not gonna lie with this one.

I was a little disappointed. But not because this game is bad, but because it's too good in some ways and sadly lacking in others. I find the story to be an improvement from the first game, but the gameplay is slightly weaker. I just expected this game to be leaps and bounds better than the first game, when it's only a slight improvement.

Also I gave some leniency from the first game with the boss battles as there was a good amount of variety in them, and the scale was no doubt fantastic. While that scale remains in this game(especially in the Sandman fight), there is little variety in the boss battles. Wouldn't it have been a lot cooler if Kraven's boss battle was a stealth section instead of a combat section for instance? There's just a lack of experimentation here.

But I'm not gonna act like this is a bad game, it's very good and I legit can't wait for the 3rd game. I'd say this game is slightly better than the 1st one, but not by much.

Probably Urobuchi's worst story. But it still has some damn good elements, in particular with a fantastic soundtrack and interesting fights(which you rarely get from a VN).

It's not great, but I'm glad I read it.

Great replay. Might be my favorite Rockstar game just for the sheer amount of balls this game has. This is probably one of the most uncomfortable games I've ever played, akin to peeling off a painful scab. I love it.

It also has Brian Cox in it. So that's obviously dope.

How Capcom made this game better than the original RE4 is beyond me. Though I think this works better as a companion piece to the original rather than a replacement.
