Meh, I will probably play this one through, but it sorta sucks ass as a Resident Evil Game. I guess the most upsetting part is how there is SO MUCH POTENTIAL, BUT THEY BLEW IT!


Revelations was good because it made the game into chapters, like 13 or so of them, and gave you waypoints to make puzzling through an RE game a bit more accessible. The only thing wrong with that first game was enemy variety, and I bet most people didn't get deep into it anyways.

This game, Rev 2 sucks though, it has an identity crisis for the entire duration of the gameplay. At times, it feels you you are playing 2 player portal, but by yourself. It is way too linear, and it starts to feel more and more like the first The Evil Within game.

But then you are sitting there, doing this chore heavy, The Last of Us 1 stuff, cooperative progressing without combat, BORING BORING BORING, and then when the enemy encounters happen, it's inconsequential. The AI is better, but you really don't have control over them, even to the level you did in RE0. YOU CANT EVEN TELL THEM TO NOT FIRE, OR PLAY OFFENSIVE, it's wait, or follow and do w.e you want A.I.

The Zap system, it seems like they want to lean into that, but they don't go far enough like RE0, so it sucks. It is meant to be there for coop, but again, why would you wanna play coop where one girl wont touch guns, and the other is "too little" to do any real combat.

Maybe this is fun on Coop? I'm just tying to figure out if this was a terrible port or something ON TOP OF IT BEING A BAD GAME, bc they don't disclose core game mechanics through the HUD, sometimes they do, sometimes they don't sometimes you can't climb a ledge you can reach, many time you CAN climb a ledge that seems unreachable. Sometimes you can reach a ladder, and your partner can boost you, other times the ladder is closer and they can't.

There are all sorts of stupid moments where people get stuck trying to solve a puzzle not meant for their character.

Also, this story runs in 2 bursts, so 1 coop team of chicks takes lead, then you are chasing them down, going over ALMOST THE EXACT SAME LEVEL, it's annoying, it feels like you're back tracking even when you are not.

Then, after we get there, it turns into the crappiest Tomb Raider jank fest in the world near the end. WHAT A PIECE OF ♥♥♥♥.

Again, maybe it is fun on coop if you have a terrible player to play with that doesn't mind being the light ♥♥♥♥♥, maybe it's fun to do runs or something. But completing it, that's not fun at all.

If you can get over the FD up way they price it, and buy it for 10 or so, maybe get it to play once, but again, maybe don't, I wish someone would have just told me this kind of info in a review and I wouldn't have bought it.

Level design sucks, tons of places you can get to, that it won't allow you through, so suspension of disbelief is wavering, and it all fall apart COMPLETELY by the end. I couldn't believe the tropes and the level design. What a piece of ♥♥♥♥.

tl;dr consider not playing this game because it's more like a mix of the following games, and not much like a resident evil game. The closest ties it has to RE is playing like Revelations 1, I'm sorry. JUST NO! There are some charming moments to it, but it might be worse than 6, idk.

Portal 2 coop mode ( but playing single player)
The Last of Us Chore heavy cooperative progression. SUPER TIRED, BORING ♥♥♥♥ AND THIS GAME IS BLOATED WITH IT! The puzzles don't even make sense, you can't drop a box off a ledge into the water, but here DROP THIS Massive Battery 10+ feet bc they are too lazy to build a final lift and have the puzzle MAKE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SENSE.

Horror tones less like RE and more like The Evil Within (I can't complain, but some might)
Linearity like The Evil Within, BAD THOUGH, and not nearly as well thought out...
Jank as bad as playing Mirrors Edge or the WORST Parkour sections of a new tomb Raider games.

And it wraps all this up in a Resident Evil package that encourages tons of replay, but the game sucks, so it's not gonna happen. Tons of wasted potential. If you want a streamlined RE game, stick to Rev 1, if you want a good coop, why not 5 or 6? or maybe this one will work. But damn, there is so much wrong w this game.

Edit: I forgot this game struggled IMMENSELY from balance issues regarding supplies and ammo. In the girls' half, it's pretty good balance on Standard Difficulty, but play the Barry half of this game, and you won't know what to do w all that crap. Terrible, much in the same way that The Evil Within 2 was, difficulty wise. A ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ MESS!

I suggest playing the chicks parts on standard, and barry part on Hardcore. But I have no idea if the game is smart enough to award completion achievements this way.

Overall, ♥♥♥♥ this game. I'd rather go play RE0, Good Grief. When I finish RE6, maybe I can come back and tell you, if it's better or worse than that trash.

Final Note: YES there WERE LOTS OF REDEEMING QUALITIES ABOUT THIS GAME! LOTS OF GOOD IDEAS, AND GOOD EFFORTS MADE. I Suppose that is the most upsetting thing about this game. THIS HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL!!!

--but they definitely misfired.

Lots of scary atmosphere and actual scares for the player and great little details, But DAAAAAAAMN, they messed this thing up.

I'm not editing this wall o text, BUTTPHUCK THIS GAME LOL.
