Third GOTM finished for May 2023. It's unfortunate that I played the first game so soon before this one, because it made the faults with this one all the more glaring. This game wanted so hard to be like RE, but missed the mark on nearly every part. The horror element feels lacking, fixed camera angles made it so enemies could attack you off screen, the limited inventory is exacerbated by the high amount of enemy encounters, and the tank controls left movement and dodging attacks a pain. The story was also weaker than the first one, but Flint is great. The EXP system was pretty good though, offering a lot of control over how you built Aya and her mitochondrial abilities. I didn't hate this one, and it probably would've been better received as a standalone game, but as a sequel to one of the better PlayStation games I've played this one felt lacking.
