From comments I’ve read on Twitter and Eurogamer, it seems that it’s an absolute cracker and early GOTY contender.
Some of the ideas in it sound great, such as enemies now tracking you through the Police Station until you dispatch them or Mr X (is that his name?) able to tell where you are due to the sounds you make. Everyone seems to reckon it nails the memories and atmosphere of RE2, the gameplay of RE4 and the graphics of The Last of Us.
I’ve not played the demo but the atmosphere seems nailed on. It looks scary and the zombies seem like a true threat, as a result I’ll probably be too chicken shit to play it
Lara Croft keeps misjudging distances and depths in the dark which I also find quite frustrating. I’m aware turning the brightness up might solve all of my problems.
I think I’ve nearly completed Bloodborne. I’m hoping there won’t be some batshit hard final boss but it wouldn’t surprise me! (There’s some optional stuff I’ve missed, but I think with this game, I don’t mind skipping over some of that completionist stuff even though I’m liking it).
Making progress is so satisfying tho
Also I think I found some good armour early on bc I haven’t changed armour in ages, and I’m using mainly the same weapons from the start (albeit upgraded like mad)
Tried the RE2 demo. Made the mistake of running around like it was RE4 and got immediately chomped! It’s surprisingly gory. I don’t know why that’s surprising. Guess I still haven’t remembered it’s a horror game, even after playing RE7. Run out of time before I could say hello to the Licker unfortunately.
