@Balta666 yea its going really smoothly. While it's enemies are pretty terrifying, it reminds me alot of RE4. It's more action oriented, and you feel more powerful than you do in the earlier RE games. Plus, there's loot at every corner to upgrade your weapons, increase the capacity, and there's a skill tree which is always great to upgrade. I'm on chapter 14 and I'm cruising. Based on what I've ready, ch 14-17 should only take a handful of hours so I could potentially close it out tonight or tomorrow depending on if I game or not.

And I finished. Overall really solid experience that feels like a spin-off RE game with more of an actual story than most RE games. Most of them don't really have much purpose in comparison if I'm being honest.

It was light on the puzzles, heavy on the action and exploration, and gory/creepy as all get out. Boss fights were always top notch, locations were detailed and vast, and I always wanted to see what was around the corner.

Upgrading gear, skills, and weapons never got old either. Loved heading back to your office to take a quick breather and load up. You'll need it at times, that's for sure.

My only gripe is how quickly you could be overwhelmed and then enemies are literally on top of you. From there, you can't see much of anything and you aren't the most agile. Other than that, rock solid survival horror game.

Now I kind of want to go back and try the first game again. Its a breath of fresh air if you've played all the RE games, it's worth checking out.

Edit: 8/10

I completed this solo, Legendary, about a year or so ago as part of the MCC. Man, it was HARD! I've done the same on all the other Halo games and that was by far, the hardest of the entire series. A suberb game and I might drop in and replay it again.

@Balta666 Hey, can you remove me from Game Club? I haven't participated in months, and I have such a large backlog. The future isn't looking too accommodating for me to participate, either!

I've gotten midway through the second chapter so far. Feels alot like halo 1 so I'm waiting for that ah-ha moment that separates it from the first game.

@NintendoByNature I will have to disagree with you on that. I have now played about half of the campaign and for me Halo 2 is everything Bungie wanted to do in the first and struggled, maybe from the time constraints or even talent but the level design, set pieces, story is everything so so so much better than the kind boring combat evolved (ups). Also the two main characters is a very nice plot twist coming from the first entry.
