I can't believe what I'm seeing: Capcom has finally made a DLC that was worth the fucking money.
Even though it, understandably, repeats locations from Re4: it doesn't even matter. The gameplay loop is so good and the arenas are so memorable that, you know what? I think I will take a tour of the village again. RE4 is the one this works best in as I am always willing to play through RE4 again and again.
you are mostly going through truncated sections of the main game, so you never get into the flow that RE4 proper gets you into, but as bite sized bits of RE4 it is such an excellent package.
I am personally not a fan of what they did with the U3 boss fight, as they abandoned the cool section where you drop him in a cargo container in favor of the less interesting cave battle.
Another issue, and as much as i wanted to be nice about this, I find the voice acting for Ada very tough on the ears. I really tried, but I did my Tomb Raider 2013 strategy of switching to the French dub to put some distance between myself and the voice overs. Also, I am so fucking sick of Albert Wesker. He is just nothing. To be fair, every Resident Evil character not named Leon is a total fucking nothing, but the neverending doofus wars of Chris Redfield and Albert Wesker are just an anchor around this series.
I think this is an excellent companion piece to the already excellent RE4 campaign, and is actually GOOD. After playing total fucking dogshit like Shadow of Rose and Not A Hero it is like a gift from God In Heaven that one of these DLCs that I always fall for is not only good, but REALLY good.
Also, unrelated note, but I played this with the mod that replaces Ada's clownish default outfit with Regina's outfit from Dino Crisis. I am always chasing the high of a Dino Crisis game that isn't a total fucking bore.
