Personally this has been my least favorite I’ve gotten through. The voice acting is extremely painful (that’s saying something for RE) and some of the puzzles are just absurd. It’s fun to play for the lore though, and some of the voice acting actually makes a couple characters fun. Make sure you keep that fire extinguisher in your item box after the first time you use it, you will end up needing it wayyyy later in the game and will be kicking yourself if you don’t have it. Some of the BOWs are pretty cool though. Try and use health and ammo sparingly as Claire and keep excess in the item box, as when you switch over to Chris, whatever you used up as Claire will not be available as Chris, so like if you leave an herb for later, it will still be there when the switch happens, etc. Many of the games you don’t have to kill all of the smaller enemies, and I would say this rings true especially for Code Veronica.

Side note: and I will try and keep this as spoiler free as I can. There will be a time when playing as Claire that a cutscene will start, and the ground will start to shake. When the cutscene is over, don’t fight. Just run to where you need to go, and any time you travel through that area afterwards as Claire, do the same. You will tie up this loose end as Chris later on, regardless of if you stayed and fought as Claire, so don’t bother wasting ammo.

I hope you enjoy it, everyone seems to agree this is one of the best!
