I had a great time playing, but I would say the game's story is somewhat forgettable, therefore, I would not rate it higher, because a higher rating would require a story that I was lost in.

Still the best survival horror, on PS5 ray-tracing and 3D audio add a lot to the atmosphere (though high performance mode is a little iffy).

With RT mode off, you get a solid 60fps (just like the PS4 version running on PS5) and the option of 120fps target which I couldn't test myself. The dualsense features have a barebones implementation just like RE8, meaning you get trigger resistance while shooting (and while aiming with a non-pistol weapon) but no specific haptic feedback.The advertised 3D audio feature seems to be here to some extent, but again it's not that noticable and I couldn't compare it to the PS4 release.Also there are no additional content, as mentioned by Capcom.

This is an amazing game to replay it's a free update and if you haven't played it yet I highly recommend you give it a try. It's the best Survival Horror Video Game that's come out the past decade. It didn't win multiple game awards for nothing back in 2019. Anyway if you read this review thanks and have a wonderful day..
