Fun Cheeky RE Like Game With Issues

It's a fun, cheeky modern Resident Evil like game. Think RE 2, 3 remakes. I believe it started life as an RE2 remake by an independent group. I've had fun with it. It does capture the 90's RE/survival-horror feel in both game play, with both classic and modern takes, and story. However... - The auto save system was broken at first; mine was saved after the first five minutes and never saved again. So I played through to just getting into the hospital part in Chapter 2 with Sam and saw the save icon show up at the bottom right, but then next time I played I was back in Chapter 1 with 90% of it left to do. I found a fix for this: disabling GOG cloud sync for the game, uninstalling, and reinstalling. - You are not given access to the save system until right at two hours in, when you are given access to the HIVE in the middle of Chapter 2. - Sometimes pulling up your weapon hangs or is slow beyond any visual in-game aid to explain why (simply releasing the aim button and clicking again forces aim to happen). - Picking up items can be a pain. You have to be either right on top of them or in a specific angle to pick them up; even if that angle is putting your character on the opposite side of a corner of a desk when the item is on the edge of the corner... what? - Punching enemies feels off. You could have a zombie right in front of you and feel as if you would make contact if you tried to punch it, but when you do you end up not hitting it and you get attacked by the zombie instead. This can be a pain to get used too, but you can. - Changing the keybindings to use E for activate/interact does not change it in your character's D.I.D or inventory menu. It also does not change it for puzzles and such. It's always F for those while in the puzzle (so E to activate the start of the puzzle while in 3rd person of your character, then F to activate while in puzzle). After a while you don't even notice this.

Just a mess.

I wanted to like this game, but I cant. thw weapons are anemic and the enemies are bullet sponges. The shotgun can't stagger bigger foes. just a overall mess.

Optimal survival horror

Battles alternate with puzzles. The clues are quite confusing. The characters' melee attacks are crooked. I use modern shooting mode. Discounted 5 out of 5 stars.

Terrible Game Design, Unoptimized

NOT RECOMMENDED. It is nowhere as good as what it tries to imitate and has NONE of the charm of those commercial releases. Even Resident Evil Survivor, one of the worst games in its franchise, has a better game feel than this one. This game has zero essence and zero polish. B for graphics, D for everything else. Some music pieces get a C. This one reeks of rushing and no game testing done by customer-class users. In short, a long list of major annoyances and no draw for buying it. It feels like assets piled together to recreate something in well-designed games with none of the design and testing to make sure it works, make sense and is fun to use. The sad reality is that a game made with 1998 game industry standards is pretty bad. I would give this game leniency if it at least ran like a 1998 game, though with Unreal Engine 4 and not much optimizing, no dice. When it starts to lose frames, it starts frame skipping like crazy instead of slowing the game down. It will keep taxing your CPU hardcore even when paused, proving that the game squanders computing resources like crazy. An incomplete list of annoyances in this game: 1. Crashes often "Fatal error" 2. The game feels delayed, e.g. 0.5 seconds after shooting the zombie gore splashes and takes damage 3. The story is peak uninspired and disappointing 4. Prompts for picking up items and activating stuff doesn't appear until you are practically on them and you have to be exact, making them easy to miss. 5. Level design is the typical trite of rooms filled with inert prop trash you cannot do anything with and so generic you'll get lost. 6. Maps are not always available. 7. In the time attacks, you are supposed to be like a 1994 Doom player and tap Use key while testing every wall in the level for secret entrances hiding MANDATORY mission objective items. This stuff is common in mods, not in serious publications. 8. Inventory limits and management in 2019 - super annoying 9. Melee attacks miss all the time Etc.

We have RE2 Remake at home...

Pretty lackluster to say the least. I got the game for free and I still feel ripped off. I feel sorry for the poor souls who were unfortunate enough to burn $30 on this. Save your money and get something else.
