I liked the game,a remake game from years ago.has a good story to it.thank you

enjoyed the game & the price was great at the time

Definition of a £20 game. Enjoyable enough, but a mixed experience. It’s not as much of a RE game as made out, puzzles are weirdly a combination of obtuse but stupidly easy. Combat is kinda okay, but middling. Story kind of doesn’t explain a lot and ends suddenly, like it’s missing a final story beat

Very good

While the game has a few surprising moments I wouldn't call it overly scary. The combat is as we've come to know with most 3rd person shooters these days, it can however feel a bit clunky.The characters are interesting at best and annoying at worst. However Carnby is easily the best character.All in all it is a fun experience. Just wish it were a little longer. Of possibility of something else to come later for this title.

Loved the atmosphere and feel of this game.

I am writing a review based on my own experience. So take it as you read. I will say the story and design of the game is very nice. It is over shadowed by the bugs in this game. I had this game for the days now and I cannot get past chapter 2. I have experience audio issue where the game got silent and when you follow the advise of uninstall and reinstall my character dies on every single save file. Not only that there is a segment in chapter one were you are teleport to the dark misty side you are given three sets of keys they open three area. You can have a moment where you would accidentally open the same door twice without noticing. This would cause you to not be able to progress the story. After getting passes the mist in chapter two and returning to the hospital I was able to get the double barrel shotgun (you need to collect three time to unlock) I saved the game and when I reloaded. I lost all three items and the shotgun and I am unable to retrieve them. This game could have been good at this moment give it 6 month to a year before buying.
