Come on Resi 2, show all those bloated open-world games who's king.
Resi 2 is the balm to AAA bloat I've been craving for a while. Wastes no time giving you control and throwing you in difficult situations, barely any walk-and-talk, and just about no filler whatsoever. It's remarkably to the point and efficient (on top of having great ideas to make it a more compelling "survival horror" experience in the same way the first REmake did for its predecessor). But it still has all the AAA shine and polish you would expect, and it plays like a dream too. Really good game. I haven't played Sekiro yet but that's the only potential other contender for me.
