Facing unimaginable terror, and fighting for survival, Sebastian embarks on a frightening journey to unravel what’s behind this evil force.

Good Old Game, just not for PC

The Game itself is great. 5/5 Comparing the GoG version on PC to the experience playing on XBox its just really bad. Main Point: On PC only playable in windowed Mode (not borderless), Fullscreen not available. Thus It's no horror athmosphere.

Raw controls and not optimized at all...

It is a classic Resident Evil line title. In fact, very similar, except for the story. What I don't like are the controls, dificult and not precise as should be. And in my game, the mouse scroll doesn't work. Not for the files, and neither for weapons, etc...

Goated game

Another great game from an underrated franchise.. This game was made by Shinji Mikami (director of the OG resident Evil 1-4). This is a throwback to those games.. noticable with the easter egg from the first enemy in the game. I like the game for what it is.. a psychological horror game. The plot is interesting, but left with a lot of question that the second game ignore. I recommand this game 100% The only reason why i didn't put 5 stars is because.. some content are missing from the various different version available on epic and windows store. Which has a first person view , new features and a few performance improvement.
