resident evil: requiem (opinion on the complete game, no spoilers that weren't in the trailers)
what a good time this entire game was. The switching between Grace and Leon makes the game feel like RE6 if the intertwining story lines and gameplay styles were realized well. The RPD sequence didn't linger too long, didn't feel like too much fan service. Grace and Victor especially had incredible acting, but all characters were realized really well. Wild that they can make a game where you can parry a chainsaw and also get genuinely scared within minutes of each other just work
re: resident evil: requiem (spoilers)
could've done without the Chief Irons sequence though. Absolute dogshit "stealth" with the least interesting threat in ages. The narrative worked but idk, the reason for Chloe to get into the lab could've been a different one.
parrying a rocket into the final boss to trigger the second phase was the coolest shit I've ever done in a video game. The hatchet for Leon with the sharpening mechanic is so cool. Unfortunately haven't managed to parry a car yet (I was told it's possible in the Tyrant boss fight but the Tyrant kept missing me)
