I remember <b>RE VII<\/b> just <a href=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/?p=2329\">stunned me in its opening hour<\/a>.  But while this feel like a gorgeous re-envisioning, the comfort food is just spectacular.  What is phenomenal is the sound design.  Couple that with Mr. X&#8217;s approaching footsteps and it&#8217;s unnerving and uncomfortable.  <\/p>\n<p>I bought <b>Red Dead Redemption 2<\/b> but didn&#8217;t love it, so I traded it in.  In return I got <b>Just Cause 4<\/b> and I didn&#8217;t love that either.  Trading that in left me with <b>RE2<\/b> and so far, I&#8217;m just loving it.  See how it all turns out.
