I am playing that on the Xbox a few days before Oct 2. It feels like a movie. I like the new style of game play but the QTE is too much. If I miss one, I will need to restart.
It is a little of a distraction from RE5 for sure, but based on my 2-3 hours a day, going through 5 chapters on each character pair will take a week. Therefore, 4 episodes will last me a month.
The last episode featuring Ada Wong, and it is nice to play this character because she is a mysterious one from RE2.
Nonetheless, it's 8/10 for me as I am a fan of the whole series. I wish the difficulties would be easier on Normal level as I am playing as newbies with all the stuff going on.
Unfortunately the game is kind of linear, there aren't much shortcuts. However, in many stages during boss fight or BOW rush, if you know the environment well, you can route the enemies so that you and the partner could ambush them. It's not hard to use one grenade to kill 10+ enemies
I am doing ch 3 on Chris and Pier now, so far the story intersects Ada Wong and Sherry Birkin.
- AI is not as good, compare to RE5... on average, their aim is pretty bad. I have to most of the killing
- Each character pairs have a different theme. For example, Leon/Helena is mostly zombies and feels like survival horror. Chris/Piers is mostly BOWs, feels like another military action shooter. Sherry/Jake will feel like running away from things. Ada Wong is more on puzzles.
