I am not a big racing gamer but this game truly hits different.

Back then I played FH4 and I never really got into it. There's just something lacking for me. But now that I tried FH6, even though the game is fundamentally a similar game only with different settings, it really hooked me.

I think one of the biggest part of it is the setting of Japan. I feel they really nailed the feel for the most part. It felt like a pilgrimage for a lot of people who are familiar with Initial D. The map is not overly huge with a lot of nothing as in FH4. It is more jam packed with activities and off-roads. There's almost no wasted space for the most part. This would be a game where the art team should be proud of because it's mostly because of them that the old formula of FH game truly shines in this game world.

Gameplay wise it's mostly the same as previous FH as far as I know, but now that I am playing this game quite extensively I started to understand and appreciate how the driving itself feels. I think FH did a good job on striking a good balance between arcade feel and simulation feel. It's definitely not as arcade as NFS, but definitely not as simulation as Gran Turismo. It can be challenging, it can be fun, and it definitely can be both. You can literally have fun and spend a lot of time just driving around in this amazing world they have built.

My only complain is it's not performing amazingly on AMD GPU and Linux. With AMD GPU I noticed a few frame dips here and there, and it is worse if you use ray tracing. While on Linux there are just some issues such as some audio channels not working, sometimes you can hear music but not conversations and car sound.

I am enjoying it a lot. Probably one of the most enjoyable experience playing a racing game ever since the old Need for Speed era circa 2004. Truly recommended. You should give it a try.

Is it the best RE of all time? Maybe in the Top 3.
Is it the scariest RE of all time? Yes.
Does it live up to the hype? Definitely.

Amazing game, amazing sequel in the mainline series.

Capcom is pulling out all the stops. RE Requiem is a culmination of three decades of game making experience. They are using everything in their RE arsenal to make a definitive experience, for now.

I love how Capcom succeed on making new characters ever since RE7 with Ethan, and now with Grace. The character is amazing and it expands on the RE universe.

I also really like seeing the power dynamic between each characters, to show how inhuman Leon is and to show how human Grace is.

The enemies in this game, especially when you are playing as Grace, is such an unique experience to encounter. You'll get to find out that you need to use various ways to navigate through the game as Grace has no combat capabilities like Leon does.

The voice acting in RE9 has been amazing, but Grace's VA specifically deserves a shoutout, and I doubt anything this year will surpass her performance in this game for this year. Phenomenal. There are story bits that won't work as well if they don't have her VA capabilities.

"Grace is too timid for RE", "The game is too short!", "Why is there stalker style enemy in RE?". You'll see people making these comments and all I can say is you've just seen tourists yelling at the sky because clearly they are missing the points, or more likely some people just want something to get upset about.

And of course, I do have my own criticism. There is a point in this game nearing the end when it reminds me so much of RE6/RE4's Island section. It was quite ridiculous and it seems Capcom almost forgotten that both RE6 and RE4's Island section is the weakest thing about RE. Luckily it's a very short section of the game that was outshine by the rest of the game so you'd tolerate it.

All in all, if you've been a lifelong fans of RE or at least have played RE2 Remake and liked it, you need to play this game.

What a masterpiece.

This is how you do a remake. They successfully created a great remake of their oldest game in the series. They are using their experience from decades of game making into this remake and I love it so much. Truly a love letter for the longtime fans and a great entry for anyone who want to dip into the world of Trails for the first time.

Literally every single aspect I can think of that I dislike on their previous games has been modified or fixed. There's a bunch of QoL improvements such as marking every quests so there's no more "hidden quests", alongside modern combat mixing 2 different styles that players can utilize with so many features that really helps the sluggishness of the original game.

The graphics are gorgeous. The art style and character models are amazing.

But one thing surely stands out the most for me, which is voice acting. When I first heard about the recasting of the original voice actors, I was a bit skeptical. But after finishing this game I do have to say the casting were spot on. I already knew the story, I knew what's going to happen, but it still hits really hard because of the voice actor performances that really delivers the best out of the story. It instills so much emotion to the story.

Amazing remake, amazing game. It's a shame that it didn't get that much attention globally and got ignored in some awards. It's really not a surprise that this game ended up as one of the most successful release by Nihon Falcom.

Must try especially for JRPG lovers.
