Resident Evil Requiem Since I watched Vendetta, I've been hoping for something like that in game form, while 6 got the action right, it fell flat in many other ways, Leon's sections in Requiem however, finally delivered what I was looking for, his weapons, melee attacks, finishers, everything was awesome, even the didn't feel out of place, on the contrary, I loved that part lol. Leon's campaign is cool, badass, cheesy, with just enough tension and creepiness to keep things interesting. The only thing missing was a proper merchant. Grace's sections felt a lot like 7, the opening was pretty scary, though as soon as you get the ability to craft stuff it got a bit more actiony than I was expecting, antique coins are given to you like they're candy and it didn't take long for me to buy all the stuff you can get from those things, however, once blister heads were introduced I quickly regretted my choice to shoot my way through a bunch of encounters lol. The story was cool, The whole Wonder where it'll go now that Based on the ending (and a fair amount of copium on my part lol) if RE10 ends up being with the gameplay of Requiem, it'll be GOTY, GOAT, Best Resident Evil ever, etc. I don't think I do have some complaints lol, had to change to third person with Grace, even with wobble at minimum, there was something that felt off about the camera, didn't help that in first person, it doesn't feel like there's any difference between walking and sprinting. Speaking of, there's no real sprint here lol, Leon feels faster but that might be more because I'm running towards the zombies rather than away from them, Grace on the other hand, "oh, a giant monster is chasing me, time to power walk!" I get why, but still, running for your life should feel more like running for your life not, gently jogging for your life. The worst part of this game for me, was the section, and it'll be a pain in future playthroughs, I'd rather have House Beneviento over this kind of stuff lol, Beneviento at least goes by pretty fast on subsequent playthroughs since, once you know where to go and what to get, you can complete the first part pretty fast, this one however, is always "go here, wait, go there, wait, now go over there and wait some more", it's a pretty short section, but all the waiting makes it feel like a slog. Overall though, I liked it a lot, easily one of my favourite RE games. Grade: A+

Resident Evil Requiem I really liked this game. After the first half I was at a 10/10, but that got dragged down a little (not a lot) in the back half because it was more Leon-heavy, and I liked the Grace/Leon balance of the first half more. The last section is great though, everything I want from a Resident Evil game. Grade: A
