The gameplay is for the most part the same as Resident Evil 2, but it’s shorter, more linear, less puzzle focused, and I’m disappointed in how it handles the Nemesis. His encounters are all very scripted and easy to predict, I think he goes down too easily, and don’t even get me started on all the “hero throws.” This is in stark contrast to RE2’s Mr X who actively hunted you, roamed the map randomly and, even in the few cases where he actually was scripted, was far more unpredictable. It is ultimately still a decent game that’s worth playing, just a slightly underwhelming one coming off of it’s predecessor.
