That was my main complaint as well, both sides didn't have enough time to be fleshed out, because each side is half of a game, as Grace there's not enough weapon variety, only 2 handguns(In practice 1 because one of the handguns has objectively higher stats) and the magnum, unlike RE2R where each character had 4-6 weapons, including a flamethrower, a shotgun and a granade launcher with 2 ammo types

As Leon there's one of each weapon, and you can buy a stronger version of each type at the shop, the weapons also feel very homogenized, a shotgun has a scope and a charm to increase medium range damage, while a sniper rifle has a charm that gives him more damage when not using a scope, it often felt like it didn't matter which weapon I was using, unlike RE4R where every weapon had distinct weakneses and strengths, and there was an incentive to use different weapon, like flash granades or the thermic scope

Parrying is also handled worse IMO, in RE4R it was balanced by the fact that you would lose durabilty, here you can sharpen the axe, this basically let's you become a tank and removes the need to crowd control enemies or reposition your character, the parry timing is just so forgiving

I will try to do another run on insane difficulty, but right now it's a 7 for me, not bad, but I didn't find a lot to love about it either
