If you asked me to list every single thing about this game I don't like for this review it would take quite some time and not near enough space in the steam review. Crapcom once again forgot completely where they came from and created this absolute abomination that deserves naught but criticism as again Crapcom lied about a return to its roots to sell copies. Survival horror? Not here. Not sure how they took RE 5's controls and somehow made them infinitely worse but if anyone could do it its Crapcom. The story and gameplay go completely over the top in the worst way with it being a moment to moment next crazy bullcrap event happening then into very small sections of 2nd grade puzzles, a few guys to kill, and then really awful bosses sometimes back to back to the point of where it all feels like a boss rush with no quality or oversight. The stories range from I helped infect the president of the United States with a virus to help save my sister even though she was clearly dead anyway to im a broody teenager in a mans body and have an awkward high school type romance and fixation with this agent who wants my blood. Chris's campaign is easily the worst out of them all with the most boring gameplay on top of him being weirdly attached to one person on his team who got killed and then getting way more people killed and not giving a crap whatsoever even to the point of celebrating something that didn't have any cause for it. Not even counting that Chris has an entire chapter that over half of it is literally door cutscene then another door and then another cutsecene. I kid you not. Cutscenes galore permeate this dumpster fire calling itself a game so much that there is more of them than actual gameplay weather they be live or cinematic. Also to note the vast majority of my deaths were on the hardest difficulty during live cutscenes that freeze you in place but let the enemies run around still and they either kill you IN the cutscene or time there attacks to when you regain control killing you instantly. This happened so much that I had to coordinate with my co op partner in certain spots to keep the enemy away while pressing certain levers or buttons or you would never get past it. Enemies are supposed to being this mixture of zombies that somehow can snipe you from across maps with both magnums and assault rifles and J'avo which are people "enhanced" with the virus but somehow there accuracy blows worse than zombies and there mutations are almost always a detriment. Not even mentioning the fact that these guys that are supposed B.O.W.S. are using machetes and machine guns still so why in the hell are they even monsters if it doesn't actually help them? Crapcom really sucks at the details and telling stories more often than not. One of the games biggest and baddest bosses is what happens when you get a discount writing team, discount art team, take leatherface, take a discount version of Jasons mask, make him not take damage from things that would clearly 1 shot him, and then try and play it off like he is somehow better than your original mascot. Ustanak is the discount Nemesis and his big gimmick is that he can swap out one of his hands for a grabby claw or a rivet gun once again proving base weapons are better than your monsters. Ada exists in the game I guess but acts like no Ada I have ever seen before. She is somehow the centerpiece for the whole game in this weird sexual/convoluted/odd story that really could have been said in 1 word. Obsession. No need for all the theatrics that ultimately went nowhere and didn't need to lead to 2 of games main antagonists turning into a white goo that died not even 3 minutes later or the other turning into a T rex with eyeballs in it and outside it. There isn't anything good to be said about most of the retarded looking or ridiculously placed bosses either with one being a giant shark in a tunnel going through the earth filled with water, a reskinned version of the chainsaw man who for some reason cannot die, a giant snake that goes camo, i giant half human looking monster who is see through and will somehow in someway infect the whole planet, or some woman who grows 3 stabbing tentacles out of her back that are also a part of her hair that randomly loves to show off just how naked she is. Seriously who writes this shit? The multiplayer only has 1 decent mode that is kinda like Tetris meets Resident Evil but the rest just don't have any reason to exist and aren't any fun to play. Who goes into Resident Evil thinking " I want to get into a shootout like call of duty with other players"? Achievement hunting this only gets bad with the tedium of 2 of the multiplayer achievements being needlessly long for the sake of getting you to play longer. Not a Resident Evil game. Not a good game. Not worth a dime or your time.
