Certainly a very drastic & popular shift for the franchise but feels like a continuation of horror games completely foregoing any sort of creative setup in favour of boring, homogenous monotony. It's not like resi evil was some brilliant premise but the gung-ho nonsense that the franchise devolved into at least felt like an identity, even if it was stupid as hell. Meanwhile this game - I mean I can barely fucking remember anything that happened and Ethan has about as much personality as wet sand in a burlap sack - simply copies every popular trend in modern horror games and produces the exact same experience everyone's been having for the past decade.
