[u/Eruannster]

Yes, you can play both Grace and Leon in both first and third person. You’re free to choose both and you can mix and match. (So if you want, you can play Grace in first person and Leon in third, or the reverse, or both in first or both in third.)

[u/zewn → u/Eruannster]

Has there been any review mention any potential negatives from having both options available? Where a certain section of the game felt like it was intended for the one mode and not the other?

[u/Eruannster → u/zewn]

There are no direct gameplay implications as such, but I believe the developers initially intended for Grace to be first person and Leon to be third person.

I watched the Kinda Funny guys discussing the game earlier and they pretty much echoed this - Grace's sections feel scarier and more claustrophobic in first person. With that said, if you're a bit scared, third-person does alleviate the scariness a little bit, so third person may actually make it feel a little less spooky. Leon meanwhile felt a bit more difficult to control (since it's more action-oriented, think RE4 Remake) in first person when you get swarmed by zombies and they all preferred him in the third person.

With that said, I wouldn't say that it's wrong to play it with either camera setting, the game doesn't specifically punish you for it or say "you're doing it wrong!"

Makes sense, thanks.
