RESIDENT EVIL 8 [BLIND] PART 15

THE GAMEPLAY MECHANICS IN MANY CASES ARE NOT ROBUST ENOUGH TO ACCOMMODATE FOR QUICK ACTION AND VERY SMALL HIT BOXES IN MANY CASES, BUT THIS WASN'T A MAJOR PROBLEM
STORYLINE ACTUALLY GETS VERY VERY INTERESTING IN THE FINALE ESPECIALLY KNOWING WHAT TRULY HAPPENED TO ETHAN AND WHAT ULTIMATELY HAPPENS TO HIM, AND THAT DAUGHTER GROWN-UP AT THE BONUS ENDING IS QUITE FINE!
SOME LINES SPRINKLED THROUGHOUT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THERE AND WERE DOWNRIGHT CRINGEY I.E- AND THIS IS OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD: "orders, captain!" MADE ME CRINGE A BIT OH YEAH OH YEAH: "lets have some fun people! like old times" ITS LIKE HEARING A NICE SOUNDTRACK THEN (WTF?) YOU HEAR THE RECORD SCRATCH
IF YOU TOOK OUT ALL THESE NEEDLESS LITTLE-THINGS SOME OF WHICH I JUST MENTIONED ABOVE THIS WOULD'VE BEEN A SOLID 8.5 EXCLUDING EXTRA CONTENT! I WILL SAY THAT REPLAYABILITY (BECAUSE OF UNLOCKS) WILL FURTHER ADD SOME POINTS!
WOW LOOKING BACK AT WHAT FELT LIKE AGES AGO TO THE BEGINNING INTRO TO THE VILLAGE AND THE FIRST MANSION AND DIMITRESCU AND ALL THE FUN THAT CAME WITH IT, IT HAS BEEN A WILD! ADVENTURE AND THAT IS A GOOD THING- IT'S NOT STALE AND UNLIKE THE FIRST RESIDENT EVILS NOT ENTIRE IN THE SAME CONFINES OF A MANSION AND FOR THAT I HAVE TO GIVE SOME SOLID POINTS
AND ITS NOT EVEN OVER YET!!

NEEDLESS LITTLE THINGS REALLY ADDED UP BUT SO FAR I'M GIVING THE GAME AN 8.0 OUT OF 10! PERSONA 5 STRIKERS STILL FAR AND AWAY TAKES GOTY 2021 SO FAR!

FEW THINGS WORTH MENTIONING THAT IMPRESSED ME BUT IT IS LARGELY CONFINED TO GRAPHICS-TYPE STUFF-
THE SAVE-ROOM THEME (THIS IS WOULD ONLY BE APPRECIATED FOR THE EXISTING FANBASE) AND AMBIANCE IS FLAWLESS!
THE SHOP-GUY TO BRING-IN SOMETHING FROM RE4 WAS FLAWLESS
THE WINE CELLAR IS REALLY REALLY GOOD- I REMEMBER THERE ARE SPOTS UNDER THE WATER THAT, WHILE SUBTLE, CAN HELP YOU KNOW WHERE ENEMIES SUBMERGED ARE HIDING- VERY WELL DONE-
SOME NOT-GOOD MENTIONS: ENEMIES ARE A BIT REDUNDANT SO FAR, AND THE PROBLEM MENTIONED WITH THE LACK OF KNOWING WHAT TO DO (THE THIRD FOR INSTANCE WAS AN ACTUAL BATTLE WHERE YOU NEEDED TO THROW A PIPE-BOMB AT A CRACK IN THE WALL; DOESN'T GIVE YOU A FAIR OPPORTUNITY TO FIGURE THAT OUT) IS PERSISTENT ACROSS ALL 3 BOSS BATTLES
COMPARATIVELY SPEAKING TO RE2 REMAKE AND RE7, BOSS BATTLES ARE UNDERWHELMING AND NOT UNIQUE IN ANY WAY
