RE9 didn’t feel like a RE game

Just finished Resident Evil 9, and I have to say, based on how it started and the reviews, I was expecting it to be amazing. But the ending left me confused and a bit disappointed.

It felt like the game’s main selling point was all the easter eggs and nods to the original games, but beyond that, it didn’t feel like a true Resident Evil game.

The main issue, in my opinion, is that it’s missing the RE signature: the recurring bosses with the over-the-top evolutions. The boss fights were easy, and there were hardly any of them. I don’t think any previous RE game were like this.

Additionally, there’s a lack of origin story for the villains, not to mention Grace’s lacklustre story.

The game seemed to be building up really well, but the ending just didn’t deliver.
