Reviews
Called it 'absolutely peak' — his strongest possible praise. Dedicated a full podcast episode to it. Said it represents the best of survival horror: perfect pacing, genuinely terrifying, and masterfully crafted.

Praised the 'insane' attention to detail that makes RE games special. Highlighted environmental storytelling, the new protagonist's depth, and how every room feels handcrafted.

Played the full game in 12 parts, called it 'amazing — great experience from start to finish.' Praised the horror atmosphere, compared it favorably to RE Village and RE7.

Praised the 'slickness' — the game's polish and mechanical tightness. When Dunkey titles a video positively without sarcasm, he genuinely loves it. Highlighted satisfying gunplay and set pieces.

Full Angry Review treatment — praised the horror, combat improvements, and story. Noted some pacing issues in the middle act. Strong recommendation but acknowledged it's not flawless.

Played through the full game in 5 parts. Enjoyed it enough to finish but didn't express the same 'peak' enthusiasm as some reviewers. Praised atmosphere and scares; found some puzzles tedious.

Completed the entire game including all endings in 14 parts. Solid engagement but TheRadBrad plays most major releases — his commitment shows it's good, not necessarily exceptional.
