I played quite a bit of this over the weekend and I love it. It has Resident Evil 4 vibes, even though RE4 was the beginning of the franchise going in a new, kinda odd direction. To be fair RE7 was also another turning point for the series and so is Village. Point I am trying to make is that it's a good game despite not really feeling like a Resident Evil. If you liked 7 then it's pretty similar with elements of 4 sprinkled in, such as treasure collecting, the merchant and the briefcase.
To be completely honest I started on the easiest difficulty, which I realize isn't the best way to play a survival horror, but I recall having issues in 7 even on normal. That said, because it's so easy, I think I am already at the end of the game! Hopefully there is a new game plus after completion.
