this game is hilarious holy shit i have no idea how this is going to transfer to the remake

this game is physically painful and requires a lot of metagaming with multiple saves that is very distracting, the plot is very minimal but i love rebecca and she deserves better. overall probs the worst mainline RE i've ever played, but i still had fun with it at times when it wasn't getting in the way of itself.

This game would have been unplayable if i couldn't have randoms jump in, and playing it in 2022 with people who have beat the game seemingly a million times was way more wholesome and fun than i expected.

did accidentally find a glitch where you can just, despawn wesker in the final battle on accident, that was pretty great loved that.

overall this game is just a worse made resident evil 4 with forced co-op with a useless AI unless you can play with a friend/rando and i think it can be a very fun experience with a real person.

this game could have been SO much better than it was i loved the quirky story and characters and it was somehow a hornier game than RE5?? which is also hilarious and its just… WHY ARE ALL OF THE BOSS BATTLES SO BAD

The boss fights in Resident Evil Revelations, while having the absolute coolest designs and some really cool and fun and actually scary?? set ups have the absolute WORST health bars and literally just eat ammo UP and its EXTREMELY cringe and i hate it.

ALSO WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THIS 3D MAP IT IS SO TRASH WHAT????

wish they still had the FMV cutscenes.

love jills bimbo traits in this game she is so cute and i love her. also REBECCA!! WE ALWAYS NEED MORE REBECCA!!!

chris is chris.

other than that i really enjoy everything this game adds and its modernization is basically perfect?? I just wish they could have done more with the story with all the time they had to retroactively add more things like in the newer REmakes but its also ok that they didnt

straight up this is better and more fun and cute than mario odyssey and its FREE. I genuinely want more of it, the thoughtful movement in not only the most common actions (walking jumping etc) but even shifting for each environment!!! so fucking cool!! this is the best like, youthful feeling platformer ive ever played and its care for childrens possible mistakes but also being engaging enough for an adult is masterful. honestly a magical experience.

This is just such a ridiculously dope game. Very glad it exists.

Adds extremely little to the plot but its pretty cool ig.

This review contains spoilers

[The only real & positive ending to this version is Vincent being single & working on himself.]

[I love this game & Rin so fucking much why did they have to do one of the most painful and terrifying transphobic experiences possible god they REALLY missed the fucking mark with this one.]

They found a new way to make RE2 tedious & annoying. Really pretty tho.

[This is literally the best Resident Evil game wow.]

[Much to think about.]

Edit:
[Okay I thought.]
[Psycholonials is an amazing art piece that delves deeply into the emotions & situations that surround art & mental illness & how the feedback loop they can create with each other can obliterate everyone involved but especially those so close to the epicenter of it.]

[A lot of this comic is ugly, especially in the beginning. The coldness that comes from a lack of care about the current self, that will always lead to acts of suicide, either literal or social. In this case we see Zhen embrace the vilifying agony of social suicide, & embrace the destruction of herself.]

[This is perhaps one of the most mentally ill creations I have ever experienced, along with things like Girl Interrupted, Midsommar, Lady Bird, or even Celeste; but Psycholonials uses its medium in a very important way that alters the perception of this special type of story that we may have experienced before. It gives the illusion of choice to the "player" when really it is just dictating the proof that Zhen had many moments where she could stop indulging in her self destruction.]

[When in a self-destructive state, it becomes really hard to see things for what they truly are; & the projected self will always permeate through every perception of the events that transpire. It is impossible to not see everything as some aspect of yourself & some aspect of your responsibility; & with that you need all of this trauma to prove that you are suffering & that you either deserve it or this shows that you are TRULY mentally ill & therefore more valid in your pain.]

[The epilogue subverts the entire medium, & gives autonomy & choice to the sufferer, the character themselves. In a claim of selfishness that says "there is never a need for suffering, & nothing is ever as big as it seems, you can pick yourself & it will be okay. Choosing to heal is okay, besides, if you can't fight for yourself how do you expect to fight for anyone else?"]
