Yeah, I felt pretty similarly.

Jason and I liked the second half a lot and had a lot of fun.

It wasn't the heights of the first half for me.

You know, for me, that arc, that Resident Evil arc of sort of exploring a very dangerous space and gradually getting more powerful and gradually clearing it out, but only with kind of hard-won resourcefulness.

And then finally, you know, solving that final door puzzle and moving on.

Like, I love that.

And...

I actually really do like these combat scenarios they come up with, which is when Leon gets to the Raccoon City outskirts, it becomes more like... Gears of War, I think, is a great description, Maddie.

Honestly, I mentioned this in the main feed, but I just played through two-thirds of Resident Evil 4 Remake and then went back and kept playing a new game.

Plus, I got really into that game.

It was so fun.

And that whole Leon section is very much...

An echo of Resident Evil 4.

They've remixed a lot of the combat encounters.

And playing through Resident Evil 4, granted I was playing the remake, but I was just struck over and over again by how much Gears of War owes to Resident Evil 4 specifically.

Like so much.

There are these bosses that can only hear you.

Just even the way Leon moves.

The whole feeling of kind of...

reduced mobility, tactical decision making, the kind of slow grenades.
