Second-To-Second combat is more strategic than earlier titles. I like the connected map. It gives the village a more "real" feeling even though you rarely backtrack to previous areas. No decentralized puzzles. Every puzzle automatically has all the pieces you need in the same zone, which is kind of a bummer. Game gives you significantly more resources to deal with challenges, so there isn't as much tension in exploration and combat. Game is way more "arcade-y" feeling than original trilogy. Had to fix FOV with re4_tweaks to not give me motion sickness. Some outdated design like QTEs and clunky combat, but hard to knock a game made in 2004. This RE release strays too "action-y" for me to love like 1, 2, and 3, which I completely realize is a cardinal sin for me to admit.
