Greatly improved graphics compared to the previous games due to being on a different console gen. New gameplay elements: I love the addition of Bazooka squad, it is super satisfying to command them to take out enemies behind sandbags, MG placements, buildings and even panzer tanks; the new tank sections where you get to play as a tank commander and plow through groups of enemies with ease is always cool. The gunplay is also improved so you can actually shoot (kind of) accurately, especially when you are either crouched or behind cover. I've been able to pop headshots with my rifle consistently when fighting enemies, even when they are hiding behind cover. The new regenrating health system makes the game a lot less frastruating to play. Lastly, the game feels much more like a movie this time due to the awesome cutscenes, with emotional and heavy moments.
If you like the first one Road to Hill 30, you'd enjoy this sequel since it is pretty much the same, except you play as Hartsock this time instead of Baker. The missions fill in the gap nicely timeline wise and add in some new events. Some of the later levels get quite intense and difficult.
Felt like I just played through the Band of Brothers series! I liked the tactical gameplay where you have to suppress enemy fire positions and flank them. Rushing them would often result in fast death. After finishing the game, I'd say Sniper Rifle is my favorite for long range (one-shot infantry) and Stg-44 (or MP40) is the best for rushing enemies or clearing out rooms. Some later missions get a bit annoyingly difficult with MG positions you have to clear out or multiple tanks you need to take out while you are shot at by enemy infantry. I do love how you get to know all the soldiers over the levels and there are some really likeable characters! Also, gunplay is quite janky even with manual aim (it sways a lot so don't expect modern COD level gunplay). Overall, I'd give it 4/5 and I look forward to play the next one!
Nice Sci-Fi shooter with good length! Great selection of weapons, including the Seeker with its controllable explosive bullet which is always a blast to use. And the Bio Shock/Dead Space style Kinect and stasis powers are fun to play around too. I also like the Titanfall 2 style campaign with its dual timeline, though it could get confusing and convulted at points. Also, turning enemies into skeletons and then dusts never gets old, or you can turn them into a mutant instead and watch them tear through their former comrades.
Wish I could play this game but it always crashes for me on startup on my 2025 high end gaming PC. Checked online and appears to be a common issue with this game. Oh well lesson learned, next time check more reviews before purchase. I guess I will just watch a Youtube Long Play of this game instead
Thank you so much GOG for bringing this masterpiece back. My first ever RE game and to this date still my favorite RE game. I love Jill Valentine and the whole game feels super nostalgic for me. I had such a blast playing it again. The nemesis is a beast in this game and stalks you throughout most of it unlike in the remake so that's a huge plus for me.
Point and click horror game with creepy sound design and great atmosphere that doesn't rely on cheap jumpscares. I like the celtic lore and the live action/real photo style npcs that you talk to throughout the game. However, I had to rely on a guide to finish the game since there are hundreds of things to click and the game area is rather open from the get go so it is easy to get stuck in an area without knowing what to do. Some areas are pretty dark and very difficult to navigate since the game doesn't show you all the hotspots so its easy to miss them. There were times that I had no idea what I should be looking for. There are a ton of readings so taking notes or screenshots might be necessary at times.
The graphics are understandably a bit oudated due to the game's age. The game ran smoothly for me most of the time except some of the cutscenes tend to glitch out for me, in which cases when the cutscene ends I would either fall through the floor and die or get teleported really high into the air. I enjoyed the game's overall narrative with its two characters storylines. However, I had a horrible time with Billy's missions which mostly consist of janky first person platforming (can't count how many times I fell to death using that whip trying to climb something, urgh), stealth sections with lackluster ai, and missions that are often way too long with nothing exciting happening. Reverend Ray's missions are all awesome and action packed on the other hand, though his low-cool down concentration ability is a bit too overused in my opinion.
Surprisingly I almost made it through the whole game without encountering any bugs, until the last section. I tried everything (changing resolution to 800x600, inject morphine, keep jumping, hugging corners...) but I always get killed at the exact same spot. Since I was apprently 3 minutes away from the end, I just went on Youtube and saw the ending cutscenes. Overall I'd say the game is a flawed but fantastic horror game. The atmosphere is full of dread and some parts are so intense my heart was pounding most of the time. A must play for horror game lovers especially if you are into Lovecraft stories and if you can look past the janky gameplay.
This game was so good! Gameplay wise I feel that it is similiar to early Tomb raider/Resident evil games. I didn't encounter any bugs during my whole playthrough but it was a bit annoying that I had to remap the controls everytime I start up the game. I was a big fan of the Mummy movie series so I thoroughly enjoyed the plot of this game and its adventure/action/horror elements. You take turns controlling the two main characters so you'd need to occasionally manage their limited inventory space as well (kinda like RE0). Worth it for the price.
