Bio
PSN: Yobyoni
My name’s Matt and I’m into pretty much every kind of game you can think of, but my favourites are probably survival horror and souls games.
I only started getting into retro games in the past year so I have a lot to catch up on!

I hate these types of games. I really can't see how any fun can be had when the gameplay consists of you being lost 95% of the time and trying to figure out the most obtuse puzzles before ultimately looking up a guide to get through it.

I was thinking about half way through this that it might be better than the first game. All the varied and interesting environments, a story that was more engaging for me personally, and some horror that was somehow stronger than the first game (that nursery section omg). After this though, the game just started dropping off at times, a lot of it was due to the sheer amount of bullshit enemies they throw at you. You'll be focused on 2-3 enemies in front of you, which would be enough, but they decide to spawn one in behind you as well just to make things even worse. It was never an enjoyable surprise or anything, just purely annoying. It was really thrilling to see the regenerator type enemy return as well, but of course they screw that up too by just constantly throwing it back at you in the final chapter. Honestly, it just made me roll my eyes when it kept reappearing. The final boss was also incredibly easy, but the spectacle was very cool.
I was hoping to go for the platinum on this, but there's no way I'm enduring the higher difficulties with how frustrating the enemies can be.

This is actually better than the base game. Goes back to the classic RE style. Just a shame they reused the same tedious Wesker boss fight that was already overused in the base game.
