any replay value ?
or is it that i beat once and thats it.
I ended up picking up the game/season pass for $90 bc yolo.
The general consensus is that it is too "short" for the regular $60 base game, but im 3 hours in and im only in the beginning if the main house. Could i have gotten to the same exact point im currently at in a third of the time? Of course. However, youd miss out on many little hidden things, clues, collectables and the overall ambiance that this game oozes. If you arent rushing and you take your time, itll run you about 12-15 hours from what ive read on multiple forums. As for replayability, ive read that itll take you 3-4 playthroughs to 100% the achievements/trophies, and each difficulty mode unlocks new items accessible to you in a subsequent playthrough. There is also madhouse mode after beating normal, which ive heard is quite damn difficult, with new item placement, different enemy locations, beefier enemies and stronger too boot.
Although im relevantly short into my playthough, i consider the purchase worth it, especially with dlc already less than amonth away that will add a new game mode that makes the already tediously difficult madhouse mode a joke.
Personally my favorite resident evil is 4, and if you expect this game to play anything remotely similar to res 4-6 youll be disappointed. This is a fps horror game, not a third person action game anymore, returning to its horror roots. But im satisfied and for most people, they were overall happy with it.
