Jason, how about you?

Some broad impressions of Resident Evil Requiem.

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.
