Graphics- This game does look stunning in certain areas of the game. The lighting is in the major areas of the city are a bit too bright. Kind of takes away from the horror aspect of the game. I preferred the RE2 Remake mood a lot more overall. This game will please the eyes visually.

Gameplay- If you played RE2 Remake then you already are at home. The dodge feature returns in this remake of the 90's version. If you perform a perfect dodge then you are granted a slow-mo moment to induce extra damage to enemies. You can also get extra damage via critical hits while shooting weapons. There is a visual effect when this takes place. There are QTE or quick time events. I honestly did not care for it that much. Nemesis is in the game but not nearly as much in live gameplay as one would hope. This game felt more like a chore than fun IMO. I have beaten RE2 Remake as well as RE3 classic many a times. Those games are fun. This one is not capturing my same joy while playing.

Sound- The background sfx in this game are top notch especially within the main parts of the city. Probably the second strongest aspect of this game after graphics. The OST has some good entries. In contrast to RE2 Remake which seemed to completely lack and music at all. The lab theme is good. The hospital was probably the area which oozed the most horror atmosphere.

Story- There is a plot to this game that is tied into RE2 Remake. As a veteran of this franchise I would say it does not pull it off well at all. I just do not care for any of the characters at any point. Not even Nemesis. Who again is very absent in this game outside of QTE's, cutscenes and hallway runs. In the original Nemesis was hunting you in the story and for sure during gameplay. Which as a player made you feel the story and what Jill and Carlos were dealing with. In this game I felt like it was a SJW fest. Make Jill Ms. STRONG, FIERCE and INDEPENDENT. The devs shove this in your face the whole game. The original game did not do this. Literally her actions spoke way louder than her words. The dialog in this game is so cringe. Not cheese like a 80's movie. Like someone trying to be cool or hip. I would boo a comic trying this hard on stage.

Value- There is a shop where you can buy items to give you health recovery, infinite ammo and costumes. I just do not desire to replay this game more than unlocking concept art and models in this game. I was so hyped for this entry and was let down. There are so many areas from the original game cut out of this one. Areas that were good and added to gameplay mind you. Just a complete ball drop. This game is not worth full price honestly. I could have been sold as DLC to RE2 Remake for $40.00.

Take Away- I do like the look of 1st form Nemesis but he is just not a threat. His later forms look generic and are not scary. His final form is super cool though. The hunters are cool looking. This game is a action shooter and not survival horror. Yes you get items and "solve" puzzles. However I never feel threatened because everything is bountiful even in Hardcore difficulty. Could of been legendary of a remake. This game is a major disappointment. 3/10

Game has a lot of potential. The devs do a lot of good with player feedback. I cannot wait until this game has a legit 1.0 release.

FIX THE F**KING CHEATING!!!!! PERIOD. F**K PGI OR ANY COMPETITIVE EVENT AND FOCUS ON OPTIMIZATION, CHEATING AND CONTENT THAT IS NOT BEHIND A PAYWALL. UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!
