For once I want to write something lengthy

• Combat is some of the best in a third person shooter, menu herb mixing while doing context sensitive finishers and crowd control never gets old. Mercenaries shines as is just a few open maps with all of this in mind

• The campaigns made me realize that the game hates itself? Driving sections, walking segments, puzzles while in combat, narrow corridors, QTEs that make you fail instantly, I know they were trying to appeal to literally everyone but it makes everything a jumbled insufferable mess to play

• Story is madness: a dude that is such a gooner for Ada that he ends up cloning her, then the clone starts international apocalypse and everyone gets caught up in it. The lost son of Albert Wesker who knows super jujitsu has the cure on his blood so time to get him. It's funny and the direction is almost as stylish as the Paul Anderson movies, and I say almost because 4 campaigns of varying quality (Jake's the best) plus repeated cutscenes make me feel exhausted by the end and a good chunk of them are such a slog because they built the story around key moments while disregarding all else. Plus the bosses. won't dieeeee aaaaaaaa

A game so nice to play that I never want to play again, if it makes sense. No Jake-Sherry sequel but we got first person games with a faceless dude. Ok poopcom
