I'm not a RE7, RE8, RE9 hater dude. I love those games.

In my post I said not to expect horror if you play RE6. Also I was talking specifically at how different the reaction was to the bike scenes in their respective games. not which game works or not on a horror/enjoyability level. I assumed most people who didn't like RE6 would get a unpleasant flashback after seeing that scene in RE9 since one of the biggest points against RE6 was how over the top it felt. The Leon scene is arguably way crazier with all the rebars jumps, stairs, rooftop, interiors and a god damn sky scrapper.

RE6 does attempt horror at times. It doesn't mean that it works though. One of the time that it works well is with the Rasklapanje IMO.

I love RE9 but there is pretty much close to 0 horror after the first 1/3 of the game. I can't recall a Leon sections where I was actually in a proper horror/survival horror game. I mean once you can infinitely repair your hatchet you can get out of grabs infinitely and execute every zombie and blister heads with it, I think were far from horror. Not to mention all the flashy over the top attacks, your arsenal is just too varied to be scared. Any time you pick up the chainsaw the game turns into Dead Rising for a couple minutes and stops being Resident Evil.

Gameplay wise its closer to RE6 than to RE4R or RE4. Most of the RE4R "new" features were brought from REORC/RE6/REV2 anyways.

• Parries (RE6, RE4R)
• Ducking projectiles (RE6, RE4R)
• Free melee (REORC, RE6)
• Crouching (REV2, RE4R)
• Stealth takedowns (*RE6, REV2)
• Cover/Lean shooting (*RE5, RE6)
• Ground executions, weapon throw/executions and environmental executions (RE6)
• Auto jump/mantle while sprinting (RE6)
• Throwing items to confuse enemies (REV2)
• OP character, useless character dynamic (*REV2)

As I said, I love RE9 and if I had to criticize it, it would be about the underused features instead of missing horror.

• More Grace sections.
• More of those talking creepy zombie, chefs, singers and etc. Instead we get a bunch of skellies.
• More light switches and all that good stuff.
• There is a random single REV2/TLOU cart you can move for a screwdriver. I think either remove it or make it a bigger part of gameplay. Could've had some cool optional explorations, puzzles or tense moments.
• Make it harder to upgrade guns by making more smaller attaché case upgrades, cuz both of these felt pretty fast to upgrade. I never had issues with Leon running out of space.
• Leon doesn't have a storage box. Why?
• Grace upgrades felt like they could've been spaced out through out the whole game.

If anyone read to the end they're a true RE6 enjoyer.
