I bought a key for like 40€ because it has that fucking Denuvo antipiracy system so it could take months or even years (depends on how lazy the crackers are) for a crack to be released, I remember RE3 Remake couldn't be cracked and the pirate version was only available because Capcom removed Denuvo 6 months later kek. I didn't want any spoilers so during all this time I avoided all articles, videos and discussions regarding the game, I was really looking forward to the game.
And tbh I liked it more than RE7, the setting is more fantasy and magic rather than the """realistic""" setting with the virus developed in a lab and all that sheit but the gameplay was great, I like how each area has a different gameplay like the castle with the tall milf vampire is a survival horror, the doll house is like an escape room, the part with the ugly fish guy (Moreau truecel confirmed) is more running and solving puzzles and the factory is purely action. Treasure hunting was also pretty addicting, remembered me of RE4 where you have to explore everything to find treasure parts, combine them and then get rich selling them. Inventory management without the item boxes was weird but at least materials for crafting stuff, key objects and treasures have infinite storage so I didn't have inventory problems.
The ending was kinda weird with Ethan dying and all that, Resident Evil games usually have a happy ending so it was weird, felt more like the bad ending choice from RE7 or Revelations 2. My favorite part was the castle so I didn't like it was so short, they could have made the castle longer and the factory shorter because simply fuck that place, I easily got lost because all rooms looked the same and the map wasn't clear enough, and fighting those zombie cyborgs in narrow hallways what the fuck where the developers thinking kek. But still I would put it in the top 3 Resident Evil games along with RE1 HD Remaster and RE4.
