- Mia Ending, Normal Difficulty -
After the disaster that was Resi 6, Resi returns to a post-P.T. world with a first-person style survival horror, that embraces not only the low-resource style of gameplay, but it takes elements of psychologic horror as well.
Visually and lore-wise, this game really feels inspired by The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Evil Dead and that one horror movie with the creepy kid. And... gosh, it fits really well in a post-Chris-punches-the-boulder world.
I really like the first person shooting element to this, and it's really creepy trying to avoid the Bakers. It does take a bit to understand how the gun combat works against them, it has a bit more nuance to it than "shoot it until it goes down".
With that being said... it does embrace the trial and error quite a bit at parts. And while I enjoy how Ethan feels very similar to Ash in the first Evil Dead movie, I wish they gave more focus to him and Zoe, it would've made that one decision part a bit more understandable if you pick her.
As for the villiains, I really like them. The perfect balance of creepy and wacky in a really good way!
Overall, a great return to the franchise. Am stoked to play through the DLCs (Specially End of Zoe) and can't wait to start Village!
