Is Requiem considered the top Resident Evil installment?

Leon is a name that is often seen in the gaming world, and for good reason. He is a beloved character known for his heroic deeds and witty humor. Fans can't get enough of him, and he seems to always find himself in the best games.

In a recent discussion on the Tuesday letters page, there was a question raised about why Microsoft doesn't create more live service games. One reader shared their thoughts on the upcoming game, Crimson Desert, and predicted that it could either be a huge success or a total disaster. The Games Inbox is a place for readers to share their own thoughts and opinions.

It's always interesting to see what other players are thinking and to join in on the discussions. If you have something to say, you can email us at the provided email address. One reader recently finished playing Resident Evil Requiem and was impressed with the game's graphics and scary moments.

They agreed with the review that the last hour of the game felt rushed and underwhelming. While they won't spoil the plot, they did mention that the final boss battle was weak and the game could have used more well-designed battles. But overall, they enjoyed the game and praised the characters, including the villain, and the subtle use of nostalgia.

They also couldn't help but mention how hilarious Leon was throughout the game. While they consider it a top-tier Resident Evil game, they personally believe that the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 4 were slightly better. However, they can't deny that the series as a whole has had very few bad games, especially in the last few years.

Moving on to a different topic, one reader brought up the fact that Sony seems to be obsessed with live service games, while Microsoft has not made any attempts to create one. They mentioned Forza Motorsport as a potential live service game, but it's not their cup of tea. The reader wonders why Microsoft isn't jumping on this trend, especially since Sony has bet their entire business on it.

They also find it interesting that Microsoft hasn't even talked about it, considering they tend to follow trends. Another reader shared their earliest gaming memories, thanks to another reader who shared theirs in a previous letter. They recall playing a Pac-Man knock-off on a clone of the Atari 2600.

They also mention the ZX Spectrum and the game Horace Goes Skiing as a significant part of their gaming history. Moving on to a more recent game, one reader has been seeing a lot of buzz around Crimson Desert. They note that the game could either be a game of the year contender or a buggy mess, based on what has been said about it.

They are curious to see how the reviews will turn out and hope it's not a great game as they don't have the time or money for it at the moment. On a different note, the reader mentions how cool it is that actor Michael B. Jordan was in Gears of War 3.

They appreciate that he's a fan of games, but sometimes it feels like celebrities just say they're fans without actually incorporating it into their work. They bring up John Carpenter's involvement in a Left 4 Dead clone and Vin Diesel's attempt to create a game based on The Chronicles of Riddick. If they were rich and famous, they would definitely start their own game development company.

Finally, one reader shares their love for a game called Thank Goodness You're Here! They recently finished their third playthrough and can't get enough of the game's slapstick humor and surrealistic elements. They appreciate the balance between the mundane and the magical in the game's setting, as well as the cleverly crafted comedic structure.

They urge others to support the developers by purchasing the game at full price instead of waiting for sales. After all, it's only £15 and definitely worth it for a genuinely funny and quintessentially British game. Leon is a well-known name in the gaming world, often appearing in the best and most popular games.

In a recent discussion on the Tuesday letters page, readers were questioning why Microsoft hasn't delved into the realm of live service games more. One reader, in particular, believes that the upcoming game Crimson Desert will either be a massive success or a complete disaster. The Games Inbox is a section where readers can share their thoughts, opinions, and letters.

It's a great way to join in on the discussions and share your own thoughts. If you want to participate, you can email us at the provided email address. One reader recently finished playing Resident Evil Requiem and agrees with the positive reviews it received.

However, they also agree with the review's mention of the game's last hour feeling a bit rushed and "undercooked." This could be due to time constraints, but it definitely left a bit of a lackluster feeling. Without giving away any spoilers, the reader also mentioned that the final boss battle was weak in a game that already had a limited number of strong boss battles. Despite these flaws, the reader couldn't find many other faults with the game.

They enjoyed the characters, the villain, and the nod to nostalgia without going overboard. The graphics were also impressive, and the game had its moments of genuine fear. One of the highlights for the reader was the humor brought by the main character, Leon.

While the reader considers Resident Evil Requiem to be one of the top-tier games in the series, they struggle to determine if it's the best. In their opinion, the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 4 take that title, although it's a close call. However, they do acknowledge that at 30 years old, the Resident Evil series has very few bad games, with most of the best ones coming out in recent years.

Moving onto a different topic, one reader shared their thoughts on Sony's focus on live service games and their surprise that Microsoft hasn't pursued this trend more. They mention that Forza Motorsport was possibly meant to be a live service game, but plans may have changed. However, it's the only example they can think of from Microsoft.

While they aren't necessarily advocating for Microsoft to jump on the live service bandwagon, they do find it interesting that Sony has put so much emphasis on it, even to the point of potentially harming their business. In response to this, the editor points out that Microsoft does have some live service games, such as Sea of Thieves, but their overall attitude towards the concept is surprising. It's not a trend they typically shy away from, so it's curious that they haven't taken advantage of it more.

Another reader chimed in with their earliest gaming memories, mentioning playing a Pac-Man knock-off on a Philips system that was a clone of the Atari 2600. They hadn't heard of this system before, but after some research, they discovered it was released outside of Europe as the Magnavox Odyssey 2. They ask if anyone else remembers playing this system and share their love for the ZX Spectrum and the game Horace Goes Skiing.

Shifting back to the topic of games, another reader brings up Crimson Desert, a game that they had never heard of until recently. From what they've seen and heard, it seems like the game could either be a huge hit or a buggy mess. They're interested to see how it will be received by critics, although they admit that a small part of them hopes it doesn't get rave reviews.

They recently purchased Resident Evil Requiem and Pokémon Pokopia and don't have the time or money for another massive open-world game like Crimson Desert. In a different letter, a reader expresses their surprise at finding out that actor Michael B. Jordan was in Gears of War 3.

They appreciate that he's a fan of gaming, but they haven't seen his love for games reflected in his work. They mention other celebrities who claim to be fans of gaming but haven't shown much effort in incorporating it into their careers. If they were rich and famous, they would definitely create their own game developer company, as it seems like the obvious thing to do as a fan of games.

Finally, one reader shares their love for the game Thank Goodness You're Here! They recently finished their third playthrough since its release in 2024 and still couldn't help but smile throughout the game. They appreciate the balance between the mundane and the magical in the game's setting, as well as the cleverly structured comedy and outlandish humor.

They urge others to support the developers by purchasing the game at full price rather than waiting for a sale.
