I really wanted to hate this. I really did, but I can't.
Five hours in, just beat Del Lago.
Cutscenes aren't pre rendered, so it was a treat seeing Leon in the villain outfit in the back of the cop car with Wesker Shades.
Combat is great, this 5 hours I've had infinite more joy than re3 make.
I'm playing on hard, the suggested difficulty. It literally says pick this if you've played RE4. Prices are higher and enemies are smarter. Feels good.
Everything that they changed, for the most part has been good. You can't cheese the village fight by hiding in the tower or the one room, Big Cheese is absolutely menacing.
I'm liking it.
