High skill? Coordination? Being tactical? Confidence? You won’t find any of that here! Throwing stuff at the wall and see what sticks and tons of spelling and grammar mistakes that I’m gonna have to go back and edit? Now you’re speaking my language. Also I played a lot of games. So much so that my back log is so full that this is the best place to log my procrastination. (Edit count:24)
Also it won’t let me edit my profile picture. It was supposed to be Vergil but I am forever trapped as angry Kasumi.

Amazing world but lacking in combat and story.
I love the atmosphere, environment and visuals of this game. Probably one of my favorites in gaming. It hits the mark on Japanese specific horror elements that makes you feel you’re actually watching an old horror film.
The urban landscape is fun to explore and yet very eerie at the same time, given how there’s no people only the sound of the sounds of weather, animals, replaying speakers and the occasional ghost laughing or groaning.
However there’s lots to pick at with this game. Firstly a personal gripe is how the static is locked to only come out of the controller speaker and the overuse of static. “TuRn iT oFf” I would if that wasn’t the only way to tell that there’s enemies near by without using the vision ability.
The combat feels a bit wonky and some abilities or arrows miss when they clearly should’ve hit.
Most of the enemies are fine but that spinning umbrella guy is dumb, stupid and annoying . Shouldn’t be in the game.
As for the story, not much is really explained. Sure there might be some hints with some hidden notes stashed away in the corner of the map but let’s be honest, no one wants to go looking for essays to explain a games lore. A lots of stuff that’s left unexplained by the end of the game.

You don’t need me to tell you that this game is insane. Almost to a ridiculous point. Combat, music, the maps, mini games, sub stories, characters, (almost) every boss are amazing.
The only thing I didn’t like was the writing for the twist villains. They use tropes that are unoriginal, done before either in the series or in different media dozens of times and feels like kinda of a cop-out to make thing more dramatic just to make things exciting which I feel doesn’t really work.
Other than that; goated.

Game that came out 20 years too late.
Now if this just had PS2 graphics and was actually on the ps2 and you put this infront of 7 year old me, I’d say this was the greatest game ever made 20/10 game of the year.
I get that this is just trying to emulate the original with a modern coat of paint but it doesn’t work well enough to make this game good.
Every level is extremely linear.
All of the special attacks essentially do the same thing but with different animations.
Enemy variants were ok in the beginning but suck towards the end.
You can DMC 2 the crap out of any of the bosses with the chain gun shot.
The only thing that makes this game hard is the enemy spam with rocket and snipers.
Cutscene animations and voice acting is just awful and not even funny bad.
Also this game is way too long for how repetitive it gets.
Story is just weird and doesn’t make sense.
The only things I really like is the soundtrack and the sound design. They did a great job on that but failed hard on everything else.
