there are many people who do not like this game and i can understand why. i was one of those people. i been playing RE games since the original RE game released back in 1995. i been a long time fan ever since. i only finished RE5 and RE 6 just recently and it's 2019. when RE6 released, i passed on it, mainly b/c of the bad reviews it got. now that it goes for only $20, i figured it won't hurt me to give the game a chance. for all you original RE fans out there, you will be somewhat disappointed b/c this game IS NOT a survival horror game, it's an action game. if you go into this game knowing that it's an action RE game and not expect it to be a survival horror game, you will enjoy this game. if you are a fan of RE, i recommend you play this game! it's not perfect, but it does a good job adding to the lore of RE. imo, it's not as good as RE4 or Revelations 2. i still HATE the partner system. i don't know why capcom insist on having a partner follow you around every sec in this game. it is not as bad as RE5, but still annoying. imo, i rather play as one character, ALONE, w/NO backup. this would make the game more scary b/c you are alone and isolated. having another character backing me up robs me of this sensation. if you look at the original RE games, you are isolated and alone, no one there to help you. it's just you and the monsters, which makes the experience very scary. besides the stupid partnering system, this game is very good. great boss fights, great action, great story. WARNING: you will be frustrated playing this game b/c some parts of the game is tough, but in a good way. i love how the chapters intertwine w/each other. you'll get to see the story from different perspective depending on what chapters you choose. the controls are good as well. going forward, i hope capcom takes this franchise back to it's roots. DO NOT pull a RE7 again, but that is another review i need to do :)
