The scenery can also help or hinder you with some creature running into things or falling off high places in their haste to eat you. Instead you have to run around and only fire when in a safe position to do so. Standing in one spot and blasting away will get you killed very quickly. Fortunately, you can still carry your ammo in your inventory and reload it from there.īesides the obvious advantages of using your powers, combat is also a lot more strategic than in Resident Evil.
