They just stopped being survival horror and went almost straight action with occasional horror elements. It ruined the tension/style for me. And holy fuck the QTEs are gay as shit.. Went from a rookie cop with awkward controls struggling with zombies to some supersoldier hollywood badass, who can easily go toe to toe with mutated abominations and come away without a scratch. Total genre/tension killer for me.

7/Village were weird man, it's like 4. They should've been their own franchises imo, but who knows if they were good enough games to stand up on their own without leeching off of an existing popular brand. To me it's like if Mario just suddenly became sonic with a reskin. Wish the industry would take a risk and be creative for a fucking change of pace.
