I love 2k but I only play MyCareer, so when I heard Spike Lee was going to do the story intro I could not have been more hyped. Too bad it sucks ass. Melodramatic trash story that just does not work at all with the ultra-corporate product of a 2k game. Idk who thought the nickname "Frequency Vibrations" was a good idea.

This is a masterpiece. It is a beautiful example of the uniqueness of games as a medium. The writing, music, art style, and sound design all drew me in to this strange and occasionally unsettling narrative. Some of the scenes in this will stick with me for a long time. Warning: It's a lot of reading. I played this for an hour or two before bed each night and that was perfect.

This is definitely more in the RE 4, 5, and 6 camp than a "survival horror" game but I think it's fantastic. I found the RE 2 remake to be slightly better (and much meatier) but I think this remake works super well. The action feels smooth and it looks great, especially the lighting. Nemesis is relentless and terrifying; if the Tyrant is the Terminator then Nemesis is the T-1000.

I picked this up for the art style alone, and the art is both this game's greatest strength and greatest weakness. It's a strength because it is absolutely gorgeous and faithful to animation of old (without all the baggage, racism, etc.) but it's a weakness because the screen gets really busy and it's incredibly difficult to see what is going on at times. I cannot imagine playing this in co-op, adding another moving character and more particles and such. This chaos along with some unfortunate RNG at the end made some of the bosses artificially difficult. Fortunately, the difficulty throughout is mostly fair and the controls are as perfectly tight and responsive as they need to be. It's a great game but I would honestly recommend just watching someone play through this on YouTube rather than playing it yourself.
This is a deeply moving story told in a unique and creative way. It takes full advantage of the medium and there are some truly incredible moments here, including one near the end that I think makes this game worth buying all on its own. It's barely a game, more of a storybook, but the story is rich enough both in what it tells you and what you can discover on your own that it's well worth a play.
