The reviews generally convey a strong appreciation for the horror-action balance with Grace and Leon's distinctive gameplay styles, supported by excellent visuals and sound design. However, there is notable criticism of the storytelling, particularly its reliance on nostalgia and retcons. While most players enjoyed Leon's segments, which are full of exciting combat mechanics, the shift between gameplay styles with Grace's sections provided a balance that didn't always land favorably for all. Some technical issues were reported, affecting the overall smoothness of the experience.

Positive Points

  • The game blends horror and action seamlessly with dual protagonists, allowing for a variety of gameplay experiences that are well-executed and engaging.
  • Grace Ashcroft is introduced as a strong new protagonist with well-developed character motivations, and her segments provide intense survival horror experiences reminiscent of early Resident Evil games.

  • Mixed Points

  • Common Themes

  • The contrast between Grace's survival horror segments and Leon's action-driven gameplay was a standout feature for many players.
