a really, really good campaign
First of all, I never played ANY Resident Evil ever, so this is the 2nd resident evil's inspired campaign (the first one is the hive but it's more to shoot and run type of campaign, and not a puzzle-driven one) I've ever played. Honestly, this is one of those maps where it's so long, the puzzle can be frustrating at times (especially chapter 1), but it is so fun that you want to play again and again. The first chapter is mostly puzzle driven where you need to open a bunch of doors, and I love how the first few chapters is just going back and forth to the same place for new key items (like the helm key and the battery one) while also exploring a new part of the mansion. I did get lost there more times than I'd like to admit, but it's all good. The guardhouse and the underground might be the weakest chapter for me, as there is not really puzzles or moments that are so exciting, although the 2 tank battles after you kill the plant in 2nd chapter is surprising and caught me off guard. Otherwise, a decent chapter. Now, I LOVE the 4th chapter. The painting puzzle is so well-done, love how you have to use the lightning to figure out the code, and how you have to type the code in chat to unlock doors. Such a great mechanic. And yes, the first playthrough, and I got all the MO disc one and rescued bill. The finale is also really fun by the way, so props to you for that. In conclusion, do I recommend this? Absolutely. even if you have never played any RE games before (like me), you WILL still enjoy this campaign. The puzzle section is challenging and fun, the map design is amazing, the atmosphere is there, and the overall campaign felt like a roller-coaster ride where once you finish it, you are thrilled and wanted to go for another ride. I surely will (gonna try to get the normal ending as well). And yes, very playable with bots. Bots have zero issues with navigation whatsoever. Easily 10/10. Keep up the good work man! P.S: Yeah, ik i put some spoilers there. Oops, my bad ;p
