The verdict
A divisive, budget-feeling RE spin-off with Claire and Barry, a strong atmosphere and a fun Raid Mode. Held back by paid episodes, no online campaign co-op and a rough PC port.
Great for
RE fans who want Claire and Barry, a grim atmosphere and Raid Mode grinding, ideally bought on sale as the full bundle
Main risk
Buying only episode 1 or expecting online co-op, then hitting crashes, stutter or final-boss bugs

Bad ending hidden behind obscure choice

Poor mouse and keyboard controls
