This game has ideas that I really enjoy, like the city itself being one of the main "residences" of the game. And man does it feel badass whenever you succeed at a perfect dodge. That said, this game ultimately suffers from being in between as the series transitioned from survival horror into action horror. With a foot in both doors it really doesn't succeed and instead feels a bit frustrating to play. The camp I look for in Capcom games also feels like its missing. It's in the script - the delivery just doesn't really sell it for me this time around. I also hate every section of the game where you need to run from nemesis. It's not too frequent, but it's enough to annoy me.

What a fantastic survival horror game. The exploration, item management, and 3rd person shooter elements of this game are all top notch. That quality Capcom camp oozes out of the cutscenes of this game - making the story an absolute joy to watch. It can be pretty damn scary too, and not just jumpscares. My biggest complaint is the sections of the game where you must avoid Mr. X. Since the only option is to run away the tension is completely dissolved and his apparences just make him annoying as all you can do is avoid him. Still, it's a small blemish on an otherwise amazing game.
