A spiritual successor to Resident Evil 4. The game is often times a great challenge without ever being BS or artificially difficult. The levels are seperated by chapter, and are very linear with minimal backtracking. Many boss fights are meant to be escaped instead of fought. Weapons are satisfying and enemies react very noticeably to being attacked, making gunplay feel heavy and strong (provided you have ammo to burn at all.)

The first quarter of the game felt really easy but after that the game starts sending increasingly large waves of enemies per chapter, putting a heavy focus on combat and managing resources. I nearly ran out of ammo completely a few times but was always able to make using traps or disposable melee weapons. Also most guns have the capability of killing most enemies in a single critical shot if you feel lucky.

Also a few things the games did right that could have been annoying but wasn't.
-AI partners: they are for brief sections and can easily handle themselves, and can be healed for free. They are surprisingly usefull, while in most games AI partners are a drag to bring with you.
-Puzzles: They are all short-medium length and require just the right amount of thought. No reading books to find where a secret pressure plate is or anything like that.
-Length: The game took me 18 hours to beat on my first playthough on survival and I apparently found only about 60% of the collectibles. The game is very replayable and offers rewards for doing side content like hard mode and collectibles.

I played with an Xbox One controller at the default 30fps and the game felt great to me. The optimizations is pretty off, I have a GTX970 and wasn't able to keep a steady 60fps when I switched the cap off, although I can play Rage and Wolfenstein maxed with better performance. I have never experienced any crashes or game breaking glitches.
I was at first saying I was glad I didn't pre-order, but buying the game I feel like I would have been happy if I did, it's a great game despite the lack of true PC care.
