I really enjoyed this new review over an overlooked game as I always thought it was fun, but I seem to disagree for the most part with one key con listed, although I have the US version, but it seems to be the absolute opposite for me when it comes to the partner AI.
I haven't played this release since the PS4 remaster and was wicked stoked to see a more portable copy than my lappy (Yes, Capcom has more than quad scooped me on this title; and I would totally buy it again if they release a physical Switch cart! Would love to see the whole series!). Every version I have ever played, Sheva's AI sometime scared me worse than the enemies! Whereas, in this release her AI is almost competent compared to other versions I've played. Tonight for instance, when in a heated segment around Ch. 2; she seemed to actually be shooting almost painfully more accurate than me (lol 😂 no, I'm not that bad as I recall I have the game platinum'd back on PS3) and I think I have gone through the whole segment faster than I ever have. I've also only died once and it was my bad, not even an enemy that really got me either. It was pretty much player self-invoked.
I am on normal. I also haven't touched this title in 3 years.
I'm almost tempted to test veteran because I really do think she's better than she was on normal in other games. I'm almost afraid to see what would happen on the lowest difficulty setting, she'd probably beat the darn game for me!
In short, tl;dr ; I feel the partner AI is actually better in this port (not perfect, but better).
