Totally love the game, one of the best Resident Evils I have played. The graphics and SFX set a very tense atmosphere. The graphics in particular are very crisp and it almost looks real. This is true for Baker family and other Humans you meet.
Monsters less look realistic in comparison. Though do give great jump scare. Not sure on their official name but I call the "Venomites", The tall tendrily creatures that the Bakers seem to have are creepy as hell.
The puzzles are you standard Resident Evil fare, which is good and really enjoyable for fans of the older entries in particular.
The boss fights are something else, So far I fought Ma & Pa Baker. These were tough to beat. Using a lot of different attacks to keep you guessing. No QTEs, just good old wits, skill and hoping your ammo does not run out.
I particularly like the story, keeps you guessing and wondering if and how this fits into the rest of Resident Evil universe.
I recommend this to anyone who loves a good scary game. Just maybe don't play before bed.

Siren ( The Prophecy book 4)
By Jessica Wayne
Her insecurities will be her downfall.
Anastasia Carter has spent her entire life fighting one war or another. After two years of peace in Terrenia, she is having trouble letting go of the voice inside her head that is telling her the battle is far from over.
When a new enemy rises and sets their sights on Dakota, Anastasia must risk it all to save the life of her husband.
Even if it means losing everything she fought to save.
At first I didn’t know what to think I mean she could have really ended it on the happy ending it was with Vincent dead!
Saying that I’m so glad she didn’t!! I absolutely love this world Jessica has written I love the characters and this book was full of emotion. If I had to critique one thing it will be the whole Elizabeth hiding who she was it kinda annoyed me a little that after discovering where Ana was and the person she was that Elizabeth kept quiet about her and Dekota! I have to say I absolutely went from hating Vincent to really liking him! Also what an ending!

With that out of the way, this is a sequel - or, as the author (Giles Kristian) himself puts it - more of a companion piece to his earlier (and originally conceived as being standalone) novel Lancelot, although I feel that he REALLY should have stuck with his original name for the novel: Galahad.
Calling it Camelot, to me, does the novel a bit of a disservice, with that location not really a key factor in the story. What is, however, is the central character (and first person narrator) of Galahad himself: Lancelot's son, raised by Christian monks following his fathers death in the climax of the previous, who (here) is not as pure and devout and, well, 'holy' as he is otherwise sometimes depicted, and who is still haunted by his legacy.
Various other characters from Arthurian legend themselves make an appearance, most notably (on the character front) Gawain, Merlin and Iselle whilst (on the 'Quest'/story front) we have a reimagining of The Green Knight, and the Search for The Holy Grail.
Like "Lancelot" before it, this is well worth a read.

Admittedly that's not a very unnerving name but the family in question may make you rethink your choice In neighbours (you know the peace loving Jones's two doors down).
Completely flipping the idea box upside Down there hasn't really been a great RE: game since RE:4 until now, pitting you against the psychotic members of the baker family (& zoe?...who is so scary, she literally does nothing) & grandma??? (Seriously, she's the creepiest character..who manages to do less than zoe!?)
You play as newcomer Ethan, who has received a message from his fiance who's been missing for 3 years (and who's hair is exactly the same length as it was 3 years ago- that's right I'm calling them out on this one) who goes in search of her, leading him to a rundown mansion in rural Louisiana, USA, eventually things take a sinister turn as you come face to face with the Baker family.
