The next mainline entry into the Resident Evil Series, Requiem (RE9) follows Grace and Leon through Raccoon City - among other places.

After the action elements of RE4-6 and the first-person horror style of RE7-8, this one splits the difference and does so quite nicely.

The option to swap between first and third person on a whim is nice and the additional detail between them (such as Grace stumbling in third) is clever.

It loses points for the Emily story line which - SPOILERS - why did they bring her back? Deaths should feel impactful and this undercuts the emotion of the moment.

Everything about Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 improves upon everything from KCD1.

From the outset, the game slams you with gorgeous graphics, excellent motion capture and solid voice acting. What starts as a simple job quickly explodes into highly motivated regional conflict.

This is a beast of a game akin to Skyrim or Baldur's Gate 3. Unlike the former, however, KCD2 is not as friendly to leave for a few days to come back to. The main story is significant and there is enough side content to make this game daunting.

Story loses a star because, frankly, getting captured/jailed three times as story beats is far too many. Once moves the plot. Twice is forgivable. Thrice and you've run out of ideas.

Still, excellent game that is worth exploring for fans of RPGs and history.
