Went on sale so I tried it out, never played the first game.
First off the performance is kinda bad for the level of graphics, the unreal engine 5 seemed like a big deal but the art direction here is way worse than Elden Ring, with micro stutters and moving the mouse around doesn’t seem smooth.
The gunplay is kinda bad as well, I just came off RE4 remake and the guns had a sort of recoil and muzzle flash which is missing here, it feels like I’m firing pea shooters.
I heard it’s a really good coop game but I’m mostly going to try solo plus public lobbies.
I mean if it’s not your kind of game then refund while you can. I personally played it coop with a buddy and my fiance and absolutely loved it. It was about 25-30h for the three of us, with lots of exploring and puzzle solving. The combat won’t change too much (general mechanics I mean, new weapons and skills will change it a bit but if you don’t like the handling that’s just mostly how it is).
