I was ready to hate it after not enjoying RE7 direction much, but was pleasantly surprised.
I think it fixes some of the issues of RE7 with greater enemy variety, fewer cutscene interruptions, improved pacing and overall better designed areas. The final stretch with Chris could just be cut off honestly, but at least its short.
RE stories were always some B-Horror tier, but at least they kind of made sense within the universe. You were always fighting mutant, biologically modified freaks. It always felt like an experiment gone wrong. Now, some of the villains are just humans with X-Men super powers. I know it's ridiculous to complain after Leon backflipping lasers in 4 and Chris punching boulders in 5, but as contradictory as it may seem, some things feel out of place.
