It is a solid return to form for a more slower paced horror style of resident evil, but it feels pretty standard and like you're going through the motions.

I like the setting on the boat a lot. It's something unique for the series. I like that it has a large cast of characters for variety. The boss fights are decent. It has a good level of content as well. One thing I enjoy is going back to previous areas to unlock more stuff. It's very Metroid-esque but it works for this game quite well.

I don't really have anything huge issues, but it's a lot of small things that compile. The monsters are pretty boring goop monsters. The 2 side characters that they keep cutting back to, like the military dudes or whatever? Probably the worst RE characters ever. Minimum top 5. The villain is pretty whatever and not all that fun. And the whole game just feels simple: it's not really something you can assign blame to it for because it's a 3DS game. But it's lacking more substance for me.

It just dosent really click for me in any good or bad way as a Resident Evil game. It's very middle of the road. But decent overall. It has a formula that works and it runs with it.

I just happen to like the sequel better.
