Just finished it this morning.
Took me just under 13 hours to complete the game and missed a number of the files.
Overall, one of the better entries in the series post Resident Evil 4. Taken as a whole experience, I agree that it suffers a bit from multiple personality disorder but I found the constant change of pace refreshing rather than disorienting.
Lots of nostalgia bait in the second half of the game, but it's fine. The series is 30 years old. It's okay to lean on its own foundation, especially given the way in which Requiem handles the overall mythology of Resident Evil.
Definitely don't waste your money on the deluxe edition. There is almost no added value of substance.
Lots of nice things to unlock in subsequent playthroughs if you are completionist. New weapons and so forth.
No Mercenaries is a bit of a disappointment, especially after how poor the mode is in Village. But maybe it'll get added at a later point. Nothing will ever top 6's Mercenaries mode, however.
Oh, and there are multiple endings.

Finished Village--what a trip.
I was not expecting the game to be all the different types of bonkers that it was, but I was there for it at every turn.
Some of the best atmosphere, vibes, and unique environments in the entire series.
I have some minor gripes with the story (predictable) and the gameplay on the default difficulty (too easy), but neither of those things distracted me from the awesome freakshow this was.
I was leaning towards liking 7 more, but the further I got in this and the crazier it got, it almost feels unfair to compare them to each other since they are rather different experiences.

I just got there... and remembered I forgot to go back and kill The Chef.
edit: Hopefully there was no injector in the pantry.

I haven't played a Resident Evil game since Resident Evil 4. Recently, I popped in Resident Evil 2 remake and loved it. It was really cool what they did with the pace of the game and the whole Mr. X thing (reminds me of the moments from old school Resident Evil 3). I'm going to give the remakes a shot.
Is Resident Evil 4 on VR worth trying out?

I'll get the DLC next time it's on sale.
I still haven't done the 7 DLC either.

You spend a lot of time in 7 running and hiding but you eventually get weapons. In Alien: Isolation, you spend pretty much the entire game in stealth mode. None of the enemies are easy to defeat and the Alien is literally unkillable. But it's fun getting the Working Joes and the creature to attack the mercenaries when they show up in the 3rd act.

Just over 13.5 hours... guess I took my time; which is usually the case with my first play though.
Ha, I remember when I first completed the original PSX game, balking at the idea I could complete it under 3 hours to get the infinite rocket launcher.

It makes sense they'd remake 0 and 1 alongside each other. I'm not normally a fan of remakes but Capcom does these so well. Hoping they'll get to Code Veronica eventually as it's got a lot of interesting ideas but the execution isn't quite there.
