The verdict
A polished RE mixing tense first-person horror (Grace) with stylish third-person action (Leon). Skip it if a weaker second half, short length or a full price would bother you.
Great for
RE fans who want both survival horror and action, plus nostalgic Raccoon City callbacks
Main risk
Second half (Leon, Raccoon City onward) is weaker, and the game is short for full price
