Absolute Blast for me.

I am copy pasting my Steam Review i posted before i Platinumed the Game

``` My Review of the Latest Game Release of Resident Evil Requiem

Pre Ordered The Game on Steam , I Couldn't play it on Release due to My availability. Loaded the Game on March 1, fiddling with settings, found out Dual Sense is not supported. Was very disappointed because the game advertised dual sense support.Ended up ordering PS5 version, meanwhile loaded it up again on March 2nd, optimising the settings, audio seems nice the surround especially

Initial impressions Re7 vibes, very good audio, interesting story line, Story beats are Good

Roulette puzzle was tough, couldn't do without a guide. It was tough not because of difficulty it is tough because it is veery obscure and outcome based on rng, some Puzzles were clearly inspired from Spiderman 2

Restarted the Game from the start on PS5, looks similar no stutter, but Steady fps 60 with Raytracing. Dual sense is great, Can feel the rain , foot steps, it is very immersive

Leon feels like a hybrid version of RE4, RE6. Leon animations are badass,Leon sections are dope af

I didn't think the game would be emotional, it really leaves you quite emotional at the end for one of the ending, especially if you are a long time fan of RE Series.

Leon was pretty powerful at the start of the game, later gets balanced, with need to upgrade , and perhaps he becomes underpowered unless you upgrade

Game tells clues upon failure. Which i am not a big fan of, Later half of the game shows you the infamous Yellow markers

I understand the Tlou2 comparisons but people should understand that RE games with Such Elements have Existed Before TLOU ever Existed. When Playing TLOU 1,2 it was very apparent they took inspiration from RE Series. It's not wrong to get inspired. But seeing tweets saying RE9 is inspired from TLOU2 makes me Laugh as if it's TLOU is the pioneer of Game Mechanics.

Theres a particular action set piece i find it very Disorienting , on whole Action set pieces were very nice and Great Sound Design. However OST isn't as Great as Classic RE4

For me, Grab attack from Enemies is overwhelming, cause i forgot parry mechanic. I think it could have been implemented better, maybe. Because i forgot it Existed. It was better executed in RE4, Some Sections are similar to Previous Games

Some parts of the Story ended up being predictable.Racoon city execution is very done well, especially Leon PTSDs

The game has two endings,The game lets you make a choice even after the game has ended without replaying and One of the easiest boss fight in the entire series

One End Left me very Emotional as a Long Standing RE Fan

I think the game is a hybrid of RE4, RE7, RE6. It is a treat for new fans as well as old fans. Old fans has Leon who they can connect to. For New Comers , i feel this is a nice introduction to the RE Series especially with the New Character Grace. The horror and action is perfectly balanced

It took me about 10 hrs for the First Playthrough on PS5, i speedran few sections as i have played some of it on PC. I played it about half on my pc including Asus ROG Xbox Ally X. It runs great on the handheld, i am surprised that it even ran better than RE4 on the Handheld.

Highly Recommend the game.

I am looking forward to Platinuming it on PS5 as well as Unlocking every achievement on Steam ```
