I still need to play the other runs besides Leon A, but... after the excellent exploration, puzzles, and busywork of the first few hours, this turned into a game that was just okay. The bosses sucked. As far as recurring boss fights go, RE7's Jack Baker > REmake2's William Birkin. Mr. X was great, weirdly stylish, and threatening... until he was used as an actual boss lol

Update: Having finished Claire A, I think her story is the stronger of the two, especially in the latter half of the game. It had an additional villain and engaged with the antagonists much better. The bosses are still nothing special and the sewer can still get fucked.
