Lost in Nightmares is short and syrupy, spending one hour trying to evoke nostalgia in the player by shoveling references to the original Resident Evil into their mouth. There’s some solid cooperative puzzling sandwiched in the middle of the experience, and it does a better job of building tension than the main game. However, it's over in the blink of an eye, and the combat segments are fairly inert, which feels unacceptable given that this is Resident Evil 5.
