Resident Evil Requiem

A direct sequel to Resident Evil 4 (3000th post) 

Game no: 568

Genre: Action 
Platform: PC
Release Date: 2026

Resident Evil has been part of my gaming history since I was young. This series is close to its 29th year and from each iteration of game it comes out with new and exciting ways to experince it. I really didn't want to play Requiem because I found the first person segments are scary from previous Resident Evil games (7 and Village). I had to check it out because this game is the continuation story of Leon S. Kennedy. 

The game story is interesting since this is supposed to be Umbrella last stand so the race is on to get the final virus. This game is divided into two different stories with diverge together later. In the first section you play as Grace Ashcroft. Grace is working for the FBI and needs to investigate the murder that relates to her mom's murder. The second sectoin you will play as Leon Kennedy where he is hunting down the last biohazard terorrist. Both stories are stand alone but with some overlap. Grace will met Leon and after that their stories will become intertwined together. 

The gameplay is divided by two. There are some similarities and also difference. Grace game is done in first person and its more slower. Her game plays like a standard Resident Evil game where you need to find a key that is used to slove the bigger puzzles. You have limited weapons but you will have the Requiem (more on that) and you need to craft your own weapon by using blood found everywhere. Grace section is scary due to two reasons. One Grace being slower and there are limited materials. Secondly the amount of jump scares being in first person is way scarier. It doesn't help that Grace is also scared all of the time which makes us also scared. Now Leon gameplay is much more different. His gameplay is more like Resident Evil 4. We are in third person and Leon has a range of weapons, with a melee and parry move. Combat feels smooth and fast pace and you will get points for every kill you do. The CP points are then used to buy more weapons and upgrades for yourself. The third character that is playable in the game is the Requiem. Leon super powered gun that can shoot everything with a one shot kill. You are given this gun at the start of the game and at first Grace will use it before reverting it back to Leon. The gun is awesome. Having it makes you feel less scared (more on that later)

So what do you I like and what do I not like about the games. The parts that I don't like is the backtracking. But that is how Resident Evil games are played. You need to go to one area to get to another area. It is a good thing that the map this time is super friendly. You can find where do yo u need to go. Grace sections is more enclosed while Leon get to explore a part of Racoon City which is sprawling. The things that I like besides the story and gameplay. It how playing as Leon and visiting back Racoon city it was like a blast from the past. They even let us fight an old boss from RE2 complete with old RE2 music. Awesome stuff 

So why I enjoyed this game a lot. It is because of something called CheatEngine. I use my Trainer to give me unlimted ammo, no reload and super speed oh as well as god mode. It makes the game fun and I can enjoy everything this game have to offer. Grace section is awesome since I have an unlimtied Requeim that I can use to blast every enemy. This makes me want to play Resident Evil Village with these cheats. The super speed cheat is a bit problematic since you will clip the background sometimes and fall down but you can turn it off. 

Overall It took me around 6 to 7 hours to finish the game and see the final story. I enjoyed every moment of it. This is confrimed will be in my game of the year list. RE 9 deserve an S-Rank from me.

Week 19: Uneventful week. Love it

For the first time in months this week have been an uneventful week. Nothing out of the oridnary happen. I got to do my normal routine and I get to play a lot of games. More than usual. Overall this week has been one best weeks.  Lets keep it up. I don't mind if the whole year is like this.

• Did the normal routine (classes, school, work) 

• Last week didn't do any grocery shopping so did a lot of shopping. Close to 700 bucks worth 

• Cook some curry chicken today. Nobody came to class due to Japan Golden Week. Which makes me need to do more classes later 

• Went to sleep close to 11 ish. 

May 5

May 8

• Went to solat, pick up H2. Take her to family mart. In th evening pick up the cleaner 

• Did some classes ,after that went for a walk and send cleaner back 

• H1 came back super late today. So annoyed by her. But she is studying. So I don't know how to handle it. Oh and she is going on holiday next week after she finishes her exams 

May 9 

• After classes took a short nap and at the afternoon went to lunch at the nearby shop. Wife didn't like her food

• Me, wife and H2  headed to see my dad in law to give him his Samsung Tab. We were there for a couple of hours since we need to set it up 

• After prayers we went home. Wife left her bag at dad's house so had to go back around. Stop at Mcdonalds for dinner

• H1 brought her friend over. She is a 23 year old Indian girl. Very sweet. Drove the new proton EV to get to our house

• Did some evening classes and after that we and the family went to McDonalds for some ice cream with the EV car. While they were at McDonald I went to get my steps in

• Going back I got to drive the Proton E.mas 5. First initial reviews is that the steering is small. The car is a bit too small. But the ride is smooth. Since its electric the engine the sound is nonexistant. 

• Wife made a racist comment (humourously) about my hairy body but H1 is indian. That backfired with everyone laughing a lot. 

Next week on my calander is nothing on the docket. Which means I can do more classes as well as finish games. I have 4 days to finish RE9 and as well see if I can slip in Mixtape as well. It is going to be a very interesting week.

Nobody 2

Why they can't let him make memories 

What is it about?
The Mansell's decided to take a vacation to a remote town. Little that they know, the town has a terrible secret.

The Good
The action is very brutal and sometimes down right comedic 
The family story is really touching. A family that kills together, stays together/.

The Bad
I find that someone who get hurts that much is still standing. I call BS on that 
They still haven't explain what is he

The Ugly
Nothing much 

After Credits: Yes, vacation photos 

Verdict: The sequel is better than the first. Must watch 

Daredevil Born Again Season 1

Amazing return to one of the best shows 

Not a reboot: When the MCU took over TV they say all the netflix shows will be rebooted but nothing has change which is great. All the characters we know and love are still here and it is amazing

What changed: Foggy and Karen are not part of the first season. The event takes place in 2027 so basically 5-7 years after the last show

Cameos: We got The Punisher, The White Tiger and Bullseye this season which gets some action sequences with Daredevils 

Cliffhanger: The ending of season 1 just sets up season 2 since nothing was resolve but things has just gotten worse. 

Apex

People do stupid things

What is it about?
A thirll seeker gets to the wilderness and find something more than she bargain for. 

The Good
The view is breathtaking. The visa looks amazing. But to get there is so not worth the journey
The movie is very interesting since we need to figure out who did it and why. 

The Bad

Really why do people do this stupid things. 
Seeing this movie makes me want to avoid doing all these things all together

The Ugly
After the end, that guy act like nothing happen. What the heck 

After Credits: None

Verdict: It is a short Netflix movie. But you will end up cursing in some parts 

Twisted Metal Season 2

The most authethentic video game adaptation 

Where we left off: This season is tournament is finally on. Basically all the characters from the game (Even Axel. A guy with two wheels) are here. 

The story: The story is amazing stupid and yet funny as well. The human factor is what make the universe work. 

The cars: The cars are a character on themselves. Each car has their own different style and weapons. They have most of the weapons from the game. 

Season 3: They have just raised the stakes so high that I don't really know how they are going to get out of this mess 

Week 18 - My cousin came to visit

This week my cousin came to visit and she was a delight. I decided to make a change next month and hopefully it won't have dire consenquences and wife is recovering form her tummy issue. Bringing cousin around is fun since the kids love her and she gets along well with them. I haven't been cooking at all since she got here. Also I gave the ring to my wife. She is really happy and that ring is really beautiful
