Easily the most disturbing entry in the Resident Evil series. The game's antagonists, the Baker family, steal the spotlight. Whether it's Jack taunting and stalking you through the dilapidated house, Marguerite's twisted sense of maternal instincts, or Lucas's sadism channeled through "Saw" inspired games and traps, the game manages to keep you in a constant state of anxiety. The gameplay isn't particularly innovative but it's solid and gets the job done. Gunplay feels natural over time and acquiring better firearms and upgrading them provides a noticeable boost and sense of progression as you play. A few minor gripes keep me from giving this five stars. "The Molded" are the cannon fodder enemies and quickly overstay their welcome. Their design is decent and they work for their role but you soon find yourself desiring a bit more variety in encounters. Then in typical Resident Evil fashion, the first 2/3 of the game are stellar and they completely lose you in the final act with a jarring change of setting and pacing. However those issues aside, this entry in my opinion stands out as the best and most memorable of the series. A worthy reboot that should not be passed on for appreciators of survival horror, be they casual or hardcore.
