So this is a RE Lightgun game, except it's not because it's not designed like a lightgun game. It's literally the RE2 engine and enemies in first person and you hold the aim button to bring up a tiny reticle. Your pistol has unlimited bullets and can deal with 90% of the rooms you face. There's no exploration, no puzzles, no back tracking, and enemies respawn when re-entering a room. So there's actually no need to fight anything you come across.
The game's plot is laughable. It actually has a so bad it's good energy. The main character has amnesia, until he doesn't, and casually mentions he's Leon's best friend. His mission is to rescue 2 randomly British orphans voiced by the same person. The game has 3 voice actors that all sound like they recorded in separate warehouses.
I'd almost recommend it on that, but the last boss killed the ironic enjoyment. It eats all your good ammo before going into a 2nd, then 3rd phase. So you're down to the crappy pistol and have to spend the remainder dodging their attack, getting off 2 shots, and repeating. Half my playtime is on the final boss.
Also the game doesn't have saves, so you have to do it all in one sitting.
The only other notable oddity is that this games plot revolves around a secret Umbrella facility where they extract the adrenochrome out of childrens' brains to experiment with. Which is the thing Qanon Truthers believe Democrats do?
