Overview
- Players can complete the entire campaign in first or third person, with a default hybrid that puts Leon in third person and Grace in first person, a configuration many reviews recommend.
- Capcom’s dual‑lead approach contrasts Leon’s action‑oriented sequences with Grace’s tense, survival‑horror focus to balance familiarity with freshness.
- Critics broadly praise the presentation, performances, and RE Engine visuals, calling out lighting, detail, and strong technical polish on modern consoles.
- Common criticisms target a relatively short main story — often reported around 10–16 hours — and pacing that can feel uneven when Leon’s nostalgia‑leaning sections dominate.
- Several outlets argue Leon’s content might work better as a separate post‑launch campaign or DLC, fueling discussion about how to better balance the two protagonists.
