The game features dual protagonists — returning fan-favorite Leon S. Kennedy and newcomer Grace Ashcroft — with alternating gameplay styles: Leon's over-the-shoulder action echoing RE4, and Grace's tense first-person horror reminiscent of RE7. Critics praised the nostalgic callbacks to the series' 30-year history and Leon's aged character design, but some found the game overly reliant on past entries, feeling more like a 'greatest hits' compilation than a bold new direction. The introduction of armed zombies and switchable first/third-person perspectives were highlighted as fresh mechanics. Overall, reviewers agree it's a polished, fan-pleasing entry that plays it safe rather than breaking new ground. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
