Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
114 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay is great with new concepts that fit the Resident Evil series pretty well (Mr. X for example).

Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
80 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics are amazing, but also the sounds (breaking glass, winds, footsteps etc.), voices of zombies and our characters.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
"Finish in 14000 steps or less" was my favorite, because you have to think about which items and weapons you can pick up while remaining within the steps limit (spoiler: you can pick up most things actually).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The dark environments, sound design, enemy encounters and unpredictable moments create an incredible survival-horror atmosphere.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The extra modes dial the difficulty way up, demanding precision and smart play while rewarding mastery for those willing to push through the punishment.
