Solid game so far. Not into the opening, but now that I'm a few hours in and the game has opened up it's been a real good time. Not scary, more actiony than I thought, but that's not a bad thing. Reminds me of RE4 more than I thought it would, certainly much more in that direction than 7 was. Solid title thus far, even if all the people from the weird possibly Romanian village all speak perfect English with blatantly American accents.
