So it's not like a fully serious, nonstop dour horror experience.

It never has been for the most part.

So I have a big background in Resident Evil and the lore.

Oh, Code Veronica.

I forgot to mention my beloved Code Veronica.

Gosh, that's a good remake to do.

I'm a big Resident Evil guy, and Requiem just hit me so hard.

I absolutely love it.

I had high hopes for it.

And it really did an excellent job of bringing together sort of the history of the series with like the old style of survival horror with, you know, some of the newer elements, right?

You have the Resident Evil 7 and 8 have been that first person series.

very creepy stuff, which you get in the game through sort of Grace's perspective.

And then the Leon stuff harkens back to Resident Evil 4, perhaps the greatest game in the series.

And coming into it, I was a little worried.

Typically, when a game does two things, I will end up liking one of those things more.

This happened for me with Cult of the Lamb and a whole number of games.

You make two kinds of elements.

I'm going to find one that I like more.

And here, I did not.

Every time it switched between those two perspective, I was so happy to get back to what was going on with that character.
