What an amazing game! Capcom is on a roll this year and I am here for it.
This is such a great effort to reboot this franchise in modern gaming era. I love the game from start to finish.

First things first, the game runs amazingly and it runs on Linux without issue. RE Engine probably is one of the best proprietary engine we've seen in this era. And it looks really good too! It looks pristine, pretty at times, and got that cinematic style going on. What I really liked too is how they are putting a lot of work in the main characters face animation. They look very alive and expressive without it being uncanny or forcing hyperrealistic. It's just a really good looking game.

I truly enjoyed the story ever since the beginning. The writing and storytelling is pretty neat and, as said before, cinematic. It doesn't suffer from narrative exhaustion that a lot of games fall victim to. They know how to write a character, pushing their personality, and make you emotionally affected by them without forcing it in your face. I am also quite suprised on how they portrayed the main protagonist as both having depths while also being whimsical at times.

Gameplay wise, I think they have done it amazingly. I don't really have a complain about the difficulty as some people who are saying the game is "too easy". In my opinion it only comes from people who are expecting a soulslike experience from an action RPG game. By putting the game on this level of difficulty means it will streamlined the experience for most players so people can experience the story with the intended pacing. For me, I think this is the perfect balance between challenging and smooth experience. Although they could have mitigated this complain by giving us the option to play on harder difficulty from the get go rather than make it unlockable after beating the game.

Voice acting is amazing in this game, particularly the Japanese dub version. It makes the story very rich, nuanced, and immersive. It's not that the EN dub is bad, in fact it's actually good. But my suggestion is just play on JP dub as I think listening to British accent in medieval Japan setting can be a bit jarring. Just give it a try.

While I didn't experienced technical issues, I did get stuck on a loading screen once while I was fast traveling. Luckily loading up the game and then getting into the game is very quick. I love that Capcom games do this thing where you can just button mash your way into the game rather than some other AAA devs who wanted you to know who make their game and let you sit there looking at their company's logo for 2 minute before you even got into main menu. And while I am talking about technical stuff, I will also mentioned that I appreciate modern games that let us skip cutscenes or conversations, and also let us pause the game whenever. It's just one of those QoL thing.

GOTY material and I am not exaggerating.

If you have played the main Robocop game and you enjoyed it, you'll definitely enjoy this one too. Although I have quite a mixed sentiment about the game, but if you can get it on sale it's easily an easy buy for me. The game follows the story after the previous Robocop game. It's a standalone expansion but it's definitely better if you played the previous game first.

First and foremost, the combat is still as fun as ever. Becoming a virtually indestructible and unstoppable force against the enemies never gets old. I think a single player FPS game like this is quite a rare breed nowadays and this game helps on scratching that itch.

On the later part of the game, I also got reminded that this game have a really nice soundtrack.

Unfortunately, this game has its own flaws. Despite the game is set on an apartment complex (reminding me of Dredd), rather than an open area like the previous game, the performance is shockingly poor compared to the previous game. While for the most part the game is running well, you'll ultimately remembered that this game is based on Unreal Engine 5 and it brings the curse alongside it, i.e. the micro stutters and inconsistency throughout the game, albeit looking pretty at the same time.

Interestingly, it was not the biggest flaw for me. It's the sound mixing instead. I don't know what happened under the hood, but this game sound mixing is all over the place. Sometimes you get sounds that has low volume, then in the next scene you get loud music and noise blasting.

Will all those complaints though, it's still a good game and it doesn't deterred me from enjoying the game. I think the most interesting part of the game is when they give you a flashback story of some people and you are playing those levels from their perspective. There are level where you are put into some uncomfortable situation and you actually feel the anxiety, there are level where you are feeling vulnerable, etc. I am glad that they managed to convey the message well and make you feel something.

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.
