Yeah the game is pretty damn good if we're talking solely about the main story. If we bring the dozen of mid-at-best DLCs this game provides into the equation, the overall enjoyment plummets drastically, especially if you're a completionist such as myself. I will briefly talk both about the main game and then the DLCs below.
[h1] THE MAIN GAME [/h1]
Starting with the main campaign, it's simply amazing on your first playthrough. It achieves it's goal of keeping you on edge and actually being a somewhat thrilling horror experience. It's story is interesting and most of the characters are likeable, especially Ethan. Gameplay itself is quite enjoyable as with every other RE game, heavily focusing on the inventory and resource management this time around. It's also a huge graphical upgrade from it's predecessors, which is always nice and helps the immersion. Another thing i really like is the main track of this game(Go Tell Aunt Rhody), they truly cooked with it.
But unfortunately, there are also some negatives in this game that you will mainly notice after playing through the game more than once. First of many problems, you can't skip cutscenes, which may sound like a nitpick, but it's such a simple feature to implement and it would be a great addition, especially since the first 30 minutes of the game is pretty much just cutscenes and watching characters talk. Another thing that annoyed tf out of me is the constant slowing down segments, where you're forced to walk at 0.1 the normal speed while characters talk to you. It's completely unnecessary. That's pretty much all the issues i had with the main game, outside of small issues that have already been said a billion times before, like the boat part being boring, etc.
[h1] THE DLCs [/h1]
The DLCs on the other hand were an absolute snoozefest for the most parts. With the season pass, you get 7 DLCs, which sounds nice, but majority of them are just dumb minigames that i dreaded playing, with the absolute WORST offenders being 21 and Ethan Must Die. Both of these, especially 21, are HEAVILY rng, and will make you question your own existence if you get really unlucky as i did. I was able to get through them quickly, because as i mentioned, i played this game before, but i can't imagine having to do them again. It was an absolute slog to get through these. The other DLCs aren't even worth mentioning, they're mostly just short story additions and they're okay at best.
So to wrap this up, the game itself is great and i would definitely recommend it, but i wouldn't recommend the DLC's, unless you want to waste your time.
Overall a great RE entry, 8/10.
