Is it noticeably scarier? Will it be darker than the original? Does it still have funny moments? Did they make any changes? Did the chainsaw guy get new abilities? The answer is yes, but there's so much more to talk about. Adding a support character come with some risk, since it sacrifices one of your hearts, but I’ve seen it pay off with OP item combinations that can help two players breeze through dungeon rooms.Īfter playing through the original Resident Evil 4 dozens of times on everything from GameCube to Meta Quest 2 VR, Brian Altano got to go hands-on with the first 45 minutes of Capcom's highly anticipated next-gen remake of this modern classic of survival-horror action. The default settings are fine, but you can remap every button action to fit your playstyle. Since the Switch can quickly detect additional controllers, it is easy to add up to three more players for drop-in co-op, and co-op works great with the individual Joy-Con controllers turned sideways.

The mystery surrounding items makes for an addictive game of chance that will constantly throw you curveballs, and never feels predictable.Afterbirth+ on Nintendo Switch runs at 60 frames per second on both the TV and the handheld screen. It’s a satisfying dice roll and, after enough experimentation, you start to learn what special items are effective and what to avoid. I can’t tell you how many times I held my breath as I pulled the trigger just see if a special item would help or hurt my run. It may be frustrating to not know what subtle effects certain items have the first time you find them, but Afterbirth uses that to fuel your curiosity. I don’t think I would have ever figured out that passive collectibles like the Acid Baby drops pills after every two rooms, or that the Tonsil trinket has a small chance to summon a familiar that can block enemy shots without looking it up. As helpful as this info is, Afterbirth+ still relies on external wiki sources if you want to get more detailed information on what items actually do.
