This game is baffling to think about. If you separate its parts you get a fantastic soundtrack, incredible gunplay, great voice acting and really good visuals but then you see how they put it together and it's like they made it their mission to ruin all of it.

The gameplay to cutscene ratio is completely retarded especially at the start where you walk two steps and get assaulted with a 4-9 minute cutscene if it wasn't for James McCaffery (Rest in peace) carrying them on his back I would've honestly stopped playing long before the finish line.

It gets better later on but they still pry away controls very often and it's annoying. The filters the motherfucking filters everywhere making every cutscene an eyesore. I wouldn't mind them if they weren't spammed so frequently. 

The rest of the game is actually pretty good it's just those major issues I listed above that drags down what might've been one of the best shooters ever made.

In terms of RE clones you could be playing way worse than this game it's decent in that regard nothing impressive but nothing horrendously bad either besides a few oddities with the controls.

Now if that was it I would not be writing this just slap a 2.5 stars on it and leave but there's another side to this game and it's a weird ass action game with combos and magic powers??????

It drops out of nowhere and requires you to kill every enemy in the level which would be fine but the controls for this section and the targeting are extremely terrible and the novelty wears out really fast leaving you bored long before it's over.

I was playing on normal so it could be vastly different on higher difficulties but the game has zero faith in the player and just showers you with resources and health packs the only times I died were to the last 2 bosses and it wasn't due to difficulty either just horrendous design on one and bad planning on my part on the second one on my first attempt.

there are 3 bosses in the game and 2 of them are in that DMC at home mode. One of them is piss easy and the other one is a test of patience since the boss also has "SICK" moves like your character it devolves into who can stun lock the other first which is always a great design for any boss.

The final boss is in RE clone mode so it's also painfully average he just tosses out ads and throws shit at you until the game prompts you to use an item to win.

All in all it's an ok game if you can stomach the bad DMC at home section.
