I hated it to be honest. Was it scary? It was scary as fuck. But it was no more scary than the original Condemned, and it was as scary as that soley because it was an FPS and it used grity, delapidated, and confined spaces to make you feel trapped and unsure what was around you at any given moment, and throwing in jump scares to ensure you feel uncomfortable at very specific times. Lol
But that was never the heart of Resident Evil. And on top of that, the devs threw out every bit of story in the entire series. I mean how the fuck are you going to just wipe the character slate clean like that? At least they could have had some varied environments. Sticking with a delapidated southern setting was soley to make it as uncomfortable and depressing as possible. Again, this is not resident evil.
Fuck RE7. The devs just wanted to get some new attention at the expense of longtime fans is all.
