“The survival experience of the game is rather poor not only compared to its rival franchise, Resident Evil, but also to its own predecessor. The enemies are less varied, less agile, and therefore less demanding, and resources are plentiful. The game's structure of trying out doors until finding accessible areas and then collecting items to unlock new areas becomes repetitive and quite linear.
