The story of the game is generally well-received, featuring a mix of nostalgia with characters like Chris and Jill, though some find it convoluted and short. While the main narrative follows a familiar trope of eradicating virus mutations, players appreciate the engaging atmosphere and the compelling raid mode that offers additional challenges. Overall, the storytelling is enjoyable, albeit somewhat generic, with a blend of humor and action that resonates with fans of the Resident Evil series.
- “The story here is good, if not a bit convoluted, and it's great to see Chris and Jill partnered up again, however briefly.”
- “Overall, the atmosphere of this game is creepy and the story is enjoyable.”
- “Great story but short.”
- “I gave it 4 stars because the story mode was short.”
- “The story is pretty generic: eradicate virus mutations and the organization behind it.”
- “It also has the same format as RE6 where you follow three different teams of two, playing each one chapter-by-chapter as their stories converge along the way.”

The graphics in the game are generally considered to be a mixed bag; while some players appreciate the improved visuals over the 3DS version, many feel that the graphics are outdated and reminiscent of older titles like Resident Evil 4. Despite some beautiful details and a smooth frame rate, the overall presentation lacks significant enhancements compared to previous generations, leaving some players disappointed.
- “Personally, it's beautifully done, clear graphics, the attention to detail is amazing... you can see the rivets, the broken pipes and vents, the rust on elevator doors, the mahogany wood and ornate lighting and cherubs along the gothic columns in the main hall, and the sound is superb.”
- “This is essentially a port of the Nintendo 3DS game with way better graphics and gameplay controls.”
- “Better graphics!”
- “The downside being some of the graphics that weren't really remastered, which was a bit of a disappointment, such as the fish on the ground on the beach, and is pretty noticeable if you've played the 3DS version of the game.”
- “It's not a bad game by any means; it was great to see Jill again (not trying to kill Chris now), but the graphics and gameplay mechanics felt very 20 years ago.”
- “You won't get current-gen graphics on the PS4 as the game will look like a PS3 game with buttery smooth frame rate.”
