Everything regarding Resident Evil lore was fascinating for me, as I have been going through the entire series in timeline order. Barry being back is cool, always loved Claire but I feel like they barely did much with her in this game. No development at all, as if they just put her here for “nostalgia” ; Moira isn’t my type of character but I believe she was actually mentioned in Resident Evil 1 so it’s nice to see her. They should’ve done so much more with Alex. She was talked about in some data files at the Spencer Mansion during Lost in Nightmares (Re5) I do love the connectivity. But she was just absent for most of this game. We never really get an explanation for why she wants to do the whole Natalia transfer. Everything just feels like lazy storytelling. The gameplay was not fun for me. Everything felt like busy work. I hated the constant “watch the characters open this door” or in Barry levels “watch the characters climb down this hill” It happens often and it just really breaks the flow of gameplay. The problem I have with this and Revelations 1 as well is just that they could’ve been much better.
