11 hours in and I am loving the game, I am usually a fan of old school RE games with less action but this was great so far, superior to also great RE7 to me. And I don't know what was that about game being 8 hours long? I am at around half of the game with 11 hours so far, on Hardcore difficulty. This will be longer than RE7 for me on first run, not shorter.
All in all, give me great level design with good map and puzzles, I am in! Everything else is a bonus, reading complaints how story is cheesy and with plot holes...this is a RE game, of course it will be cheesy and plot holey.
