The Bottom Line:

"Don't believe the hype"

First of all the new instalment of RE franchise is no longer the survival horror - in fact the last RE with some creepy atmosphere was the innovative RE4, whereas the fifth part of the series was already an action/co-op game. The latest RE has deepen this path. That is why it is totally understandable, that the people who were looking forward for slow/survival climate here, are disappointed and a lot will hate this game. On the other side I would recommend the new RE to all fans which felt with love with Resident after the 4th/5th instalments, as the new part has everything what a modern action TPS game should have - superb visuals, solid controls (which are as smoothly as never before in the franchise), back grounded by nice storytelling. There has been a lot of criticizm about annoying QTEs in this game - in fact it depends on your gameplay style, you can minimize these while keeping the distance from your foes (if you are a sharp shooter) / even though the QTEs are easy to handle for any gamer skilled with the pad (personally Ive enjoyed them); As far as the campains are concerned, here Leon's story is the closest one to the old, creepy RE games with classic zombies in the background, whereas Jake and Chris are battling through their foes in a flashy, fast action style. Overall within the action/horror genre this game is definitely a valuable product and I have enjoyed every minute spent with the newest Resident title.
