Resident Evil Requiem Perfectly Balances Action and Zombie Carnage into Survival Horror

I had some doubt going into the recent entry of the Resident Evil franchise, because of the last two entries of Resident Evil 7 & 8. While the remakes were incredible, and the random stories following a brand-new character did work in Resident 7 and 8, fans like myself were wanting more of an action like experience. 

Once I started to hear the crazy claims of Resident Evil Requiem being the best in the franchise, I knew I had to purchase this game. I bought the deluxe version for the hell of it, (because I wanted the Noir outfits, they looked so cool on the two main characters) and I was shocked by how AWESOME this game was.

The blend of both horror and action was done so perfectly, and it almost felt like I was playing two different games mixed into one. This was like Resident Evil 7 mixed with Resident Evil 4 remake, and it created an experience I will NEVER FORGET. 

I don’t remember the last time I had this much fun with a Resident Evil game in the franchise. The last one that gave me this form of entertainment was Resident Evil 5, and this one is definitely a close call to what I missed in the franchise. 

We got our usual cliches of plot armor, fantastic gameplay, new interesting characters, a story that feels so fresh in the franchise, and we also got awesome voice acting in this game!

Seriously, the woman who played one of the main characters, Grace Ashcroft, felt like an actual person that was going through a zombie apocalypse. I felt so sorry for her, and I found myself crying in several scenes with her character. Leon was also so interesting to watch in this game, if this is Leon’s last game, it would make a lot of sense to end his journey here. 

His story officially feels complete, and this new entry perfectly finishes his story in the franchise. Resident Evil 9 does fit into Resident Evil 2, and I feel that we got a perfect trilogy with his character through the two remakes and the new entry.

I’m planning to write a lot of spoilers in future articles of the characters in the game, so just a quick warning here, in case anyone of you fans want to try out the game for yourself, because I’m 100% going into spoiler territory next time!

The villain also felt so freaking original too. He was so calm compared to a lot of other villains in the franchise, and he really felt like his own person, instead of the other cliche or weirdos we got as villains. 

It was awesome to go back to the old roots of zombie chaos, and I had so much fun battling the dead as I was determined to survive all the ordeals that were thrown my way. None of the gameplay felt annoying, and every single section in the game was honestly pretty damn fun. 

There were barely any boss fights too, but the fights were entertaining, and made the experience worthwhile!

I could honestly talk about this game for hours, but it’s best if I stop here for now. I’m planning to talk about other plot points and characters in future articles, because there is so much more to this game than meets the eye. We even got some disturbing backstories into what happened to several children, that had become full on zombie monsters. So yeah, this game 100% covers all kinds of horror that you can think of!

Resident Evil Requiem is the best game in years, and I’m so happy I was able to play this masterpiece!

The Final Season of 'You' Ends on a Powerful Note

Image
  Credit to Google This article will contain major spoilers of You season 5. I am beyond thrilled with how You ended. People have always been mixed on what they think of this show, but I have always loved the insanity of this crazy serial killer.  Joe Goldberg is such a complex character who thrives on the power of love and is willing to do whatever it takes for the next woman he falls for.  He never hesitates to murder anyone, including his love interest. If she stops loving him, he will not hesitate to murder her. That is the main reason why Joe is freaking scary. He will be your knight in shining armor, but once that image of love is taken from him, he will show his true nature.  I loved how the final season focused on Joe’s evil self. While the first four seasons purposely viewed his character sort of like an antihero, the final season does not hold back on Joe’s evil side. We get a new glimpse into his character this time around, because in the earlier seasons,...

Pearl is a Wicked and Horrific Start to a Memorable Horror Trilogy

Image
  Credit to  Halloween Horror: Pearl (2022) — 3 Brothers Film Have you ever been so impressed by and scared of a character at the same time? Mia Goth pulls off such a likable character with terrifying tendencies of murder and mayhem. Pearl  is actually a prequel to one of my favorite horror films,  X , and is the middle chapter in a trilogy. This trilogy was directed by Ti West, and it featured Mia Goth playing two different characters, as both the antagonist and the protagonist in this trilogy. The prequel starts off Mia as the villain, Pearl. Unlike the protagonist, Maxine, that has her dreams come true, Pearl isn’t exactly given the same happy ending. If it hadn’t been for her killer self, maybe she would have had a chance in the ‘star world.’ Instead, we are given a total downfall of Pearl embracing her monstrous side, killing anyone that stands in her way. Pearl is determined to leave the farm and start a new life elsewhere, but her present life consumes her. I’...

‘The Return of the Pumpkin Rabbit’ is an Animated Cartoon that is Absolutely Terrifying

Image
  Credit to The Return of the Pumpkin Rabbit will be released on VHS, November 29th!! : r/Thewaltenfiles I’m not sure if any of you have heard of a cartoon/analog horror on YouTube known as The Walten Files, but damn, does everyone need to watch this standalone story known as The Return of the Pumpkin Rabbit . The story follows a group of kids on Halloween who are curious to investigate a house known as The Murder House. The group of kids (the kids are actually animals) don’t realize what sort of horrors await inside of the house…and damn…it ends up turning into a fight for survival. The kids are hunted by two people known as the Waterson's, a sheep and a rabbit, (yes, a sheep and a rabbit) who terrorize these poor children. And damn, these deaths do not hold back. One of the few scenes that broke me was when one kid refused to enter the house. He made all of the smart decisions, and he is the first one to die. The pumpkin rabbit appears, and the way he walks toward him is nightmar...
