I mean the card doesn't look so exciting.. I feel like it's not worth waking up all night!

You guys feel the same??

Well, Horror is a genre, I felt couldn't scare me and even the one I was told to be one of the scariest of all time, didn't scare me, but talking of Silent hill 2 remake, it was something different.

A game, that was much more than just ghosts, demons and supernatural elements, the game is more about grief, pain and guilt. A game about how your past actions always haunt you and how victims finally pay the price.

The beauty of this game is that the game is not about one hero fighting a horde of demons or zombies or monsters to save the world, it's about a man who is confronted by his inner demons in the foggy and rotting town of silent hill.

I found it quite unique than other horror games I played because it doesn't rely on cheap jump scare (There are almost only 2 -3 scripted Jumpscares and those jumpscares weren't there to make you jump from your seats screaming WRAAAHHHH. They were there to startle you to think, "WTF just happened" and the second one is more like a cute and playful Jumpscare rather than a terrifying one. Plus, I am sure people must have noticed the anti jumpscare measures Konami took for this game (When the enemy is near, You are warned - Radio starts to fluctuate and James is ready with his weapon + you also have high contrast mode that makes the attacks less surprising)

The environment is the best highlight:- an abandoned foggy town which is rotting. You encounter many freakish looking monsters and some grossly scary looking areas and meeting other NPCs who have their own painful background stories.

Another highlight is the beautiful music. Unlike Resident Evil games, Silent hill 2 is devoid of any kind of humor, and unlike Doom, there are no badass moments as far as I remember. So the soothing and melancholic music by Akira Yamaoka, played during the Cutscenses does the relief part. Please do check the album and try my personal favourites:- Null moon, laments of heavens night, Promise and theme of Laura. You may or may not like the game but It's highly unlikely that you won't like the music. Do check it out.

The ending of the game "might" be too damn haunting for you. ("MIGHT"because there are like 6 endings and I got the worst one) But the Canonical twist will leave you shattered.

Now talking about what I didn't like about the game. Only one thing. The puzzles.. some were easy some were hard and some were a pain in the a$$, but they were too damn frequent.

Now let's talk about the scare level

I would say, it is far scarier than Resident Evil 7 I mean if compared, I would give RE7 4/10 and SH2R 8/10 and compared to the DLC of Resident Evil 8, Shadow of Rose, it's quite close.. SOR - 7/10, SH2R 8/10.. But talking of overall, I didn't feel it was too damn scary. It was haunting, yes, Grotesque and gross, yes but scary.. I would say yes but not lasting.

So here is my rating

Puzzles:- 4/10

Story:- 8/10

Gameplay:- 8/10

Music:- 10/10

Horror:- 9/10

Scary:- 7/10

Environment:- 10/10

NPCs:- 9/10

Boss fights:- 5/10

Overall average:- 8/10

My recommendation: If you are a horror fan who prefers Horror more than action and environment more than jumpscares, Go for it!!

I really don't know what the f*ck is wrong with Capcom, Saala pehle to ek number game diya DMC which I still feel is awesome even after 25 years aur phir uska sequel saala kya Bawasir game bana diya. This game is the first game I am rage quitting, not because it is a difficult game (in fact for hack and slash, it's one of the easiest games ever) but because how bad it is!!

First of all the camera angles. Chalo DMC 1 se waise tha but phir bhi fixed one screws it all. Then comes the enemies.. Abe saalo kam umar me hi bbudhe ho gaye kya.. I literally finished the first 4-5 Missions without taking a single hit and I am not even a seasonsed hack and slash player.. Thoda to combat challenging banao.

Ek to saale kuch karte nahi upar se aadha ghanta lagao ek wave clear karne me inki maa ki aankh. Aur ek ghanta lagao ek boss ko harane me.. matlab yaar Capcom wale kya phoonk rahe the. Literally one of the worst designs ever.

Then comes the Map, why is it even in the game, I have no Idea.. matlab jitna Paisa map design karne me laga diya utna mere ko dedete to bhains ki aankh GTA VI deluxe edition ko pre order bhi kar deta and send as a gift karke jo dusra Banda milta usko gift kar deta.. bhala hota Mera, bhala hota duniya ka. I am sure most of the people don't know that map exists in DMC 2. I mean can you imagine a map without markers or legends, just an outline.

And Dante.. I mean in DMC 1 Dante has a personality. Isme kya Terminator bana rahe ho kya. Ek to aisi Do kaudi ki Voice acting moreover the main antagonist looks like a clown. Mundus boss fight in DMC 1 was awesome man, aur yahan.. Abe thoda to effort dal dete boss fight design me.

I read it somewhere that the creater of DMC - Hideki Kamiya wasn't involved in the development of DMC 2.. Abe saalo, Jab Baap ko bhaga doge to bachche Bakch0diyan to karenge hi.

The Only thing I liked about the game was the stylish dodge styles and wall run and air dodges and air gunplay otherwise the combat was also quite lackadaisical compared to DMC 1. Another thing that you could fly using the demon trigger. Lekin the same flight problem.. (Chalo 23 saal purana samajh kar maaf Kiya).

I somehow survived the Dante's Campaign and started with Lucia bhai.. I was on the verge of hating the series then I finally quit DMC 2. Matlab it wasn't as bad as The Dante one but again healthy or Diarrhea.. crap is crap!!

Kasam se bhai, naa story samajh aayi naa Charecters, abhi abhi game quit Kiya aur villain ka naam tak yaad nahi.. kasam se bhai ise ghatiya aur Wahiyat game maine to aajtak nahi khela, bhagwan bacha le mujhe..

To all the DMC Fans, first of all dono kaan pakkad ke main aapko sorry bolta hoon aggar meri baat galat Lage but this game is a f*ckin disease.. Aggar Lucia ka section Bawasir hai to Dante wala dardnak aur khooni Bhadangar hai bhai.

Thank god, I put my mental health over ego, ab shanti se DMC 3 start karunga aur is bawasir ki summary ChatGPT me dekh lunga.

If you want to hate this series, please do play.. sorry Survive DMC 2!! 🙏🏼

Well, I recently completed RE requiem and I must say, it's one of the best games I've played in recent times. I feel, it's one of the S-tier Resident Evil games (Resident Evil 4 - Both remake and OG, RE2R and Resident Evil 7 hold that category for me). But is it the best game of 2026??? Well, I can't say and no, not because it's not worthy as a whole, but because I haven't played many games released this year (In fact I have played only 3 games released this year: Resident Evil Requiem, Yakuza 3 and DT and FH6).

So help me with the best games you've played that were released this year..

I am a subscriber of Game Pass, so I have access to Halo: Campaign evolved.. I have 007 First light, that I plan to play in a few days. I am heavily confused on what to buy next: Gothic remake, Crimson Desert, Samson, Pragmata, Onimusha, ACBFR and Mouse PI for hire. Not going for Mortal Shell 2 and Nioh 3 as I'm not in a mood for Soulslike right now..

And Yes, Grand Theft Auto 6 is on.. will be playing it when it releases.

So please give your suggestions. thanks 👍🏼

LONG POST ALERT ⚠️ (TLDR.. DON'T WORRY, THERE IS A CONCLUSION THAT ALSO ACTS LIKE A SHORT ANSWER IN THE END BUT I "HIGHLY RECOMMEND" YOU ALL TO GO THROUGH THE WHOLE REVIEW AS IT'S EASY TO MISUNDERSTAND THE POINTS.. SPEED READ OR TAKE OUT TIME BUT , I REQUEST YOU TO "DO" READ THE ENTIRE REVIEWS OF BOTH THE GAMES)

Ok this week I played 2 of the most contrasting games in the same franchise: Resident Evil 6 and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and here is my review of both the games. And please understand this thing I am NOT stating a universal fact nor am I judging your choices, it's just a review and personal opinion about the game.

RESIDENT EVIL 6: THE MOST (OVER)HATED GAME OF THE SERIES:

Well, A few days back I reviewed Resident Evil 5 and told you guys how it grew on me , I basically said I was expecting a more resident evil feel from the the game initially but it slowly grew on me and I realised it's basically not a bad game, on the contrary it's quite decent. Now, after reading the public opinions and watching the reviews of Resident Evil 6, I kinda altered my expectations from classic Resident Evil to a Michael Bay kinda action but did the game live up to my expectations?

Short answer, "Kinda" yes!!

Kinda, because there is a nuance.

I was expecting it to be a Max Payne 3 or CoD kinda experience but it felt different. I mean they did mix a couple of games but the result was quite unique. It felt like a zombie shooter game (Take any, take Dead Island - Léon) + Call of Duty+Medal of Honor (Chris) + Uncharted+Highway Racer+Any game good in Hand to hand combat (I mean compared to Sleeping Dogs and Arkham, It stands no where but yeah meele looks kinda impressive)+ A bit of Arkham City (The Dr. Freeze fight section) +Tomb Raider(Jake) + Arkham games (Grappling and Puzzle)+ Sniper Elite (Ada Wong). They kinda mix all the ingredients but the result was a unique action game that actually hits the spot.

Talking about the story, I feel it, itself was giving a heavy X-men Vibe but the story itself was quite generic just like the same old Hollywood action troupe: Evil wants control, goods are there to stop (A very common blueprint for any resident evil game). Nothing new. Leon and his Wisecrack one liners, Chris being that big American hero who saves the day, Ada being mysterious and Sarcastic, calm under pressure, diva energy. Basically nothing new.

Now, here is what I actually liked about the game: The game is, undoubtedly, the least scary Resident Evil game (Even less scarier than Resident Evil 4), Reason being, it was never meant to be a scary game, it was a high octane Action game.. now, rather than Tank controls, you can perform attacks while running and they went a step further.. you can now roll, dive, slide and back crawl while shooting. You have some really great action pieces (may sound a bit generic) like fighting on the top of a running train or hand to hand fight with a large (nemesis/ Tyrant sized) B.O.W. (Considering the previous Entries, it is quite ridiculous but kinda fun as well).. There are crashes, blasts, Controlling a plane and chopper (Which IMO were not difficult at all) Bike stunts, chase sequences, plane crash: A total G.I. Joe/Transformers kinda feeling. Yes there were moments which would make you rage:- like Snow mobile and Bike section but overall, as an action game, it was quite decent, in fact better than just decent.

Talking about the dread and scare. Well, you will be heavily disappointed. I personally found a few moments that were "Unsettling" (Not even scary) like a few sections in Leon and Ada Wong's campaign and the part in Jake's Campaign where >! Jake and Sherry escape from that Ustanak thing !<. Playing Chris's campaign is totally a Gears of War + COD kinda experience except, here you fight Mutants and B.O.Ws. so yeah, the game isn't an action Horror.. I would call it a Sci-fi action game.

Now.. is it a good Resident Evil game: No!! it's a misfit, it kinda carries forwards the story but that RE feel is somewhere missing. BUT, is it a bad game overall: No.. Not at all.. in fact as an action game, it's freakin entertaining.

My personal take: If RE6 was a bit more expanded version of Ada and Leon's campaigns (Focusing a bit on horror elements without losing the action orientation) with Chris and Jake's Campaign being the Dlcs, Resident Evil 6 would've been a less hated game. It is clearly a heavily

My overall rating of Resident Evil 6

5.5/10

9/10 - Action

9/10 - Entertainment

Story - 5/10

Horror - 3/10

Resident Evil Feel - 1/10 (I know the story carries forward the Resident Evil's story but here I am not talking about the lore, but the feeling you get after playing a Resident Evil game)

My suggestion: If you are playing resident evil games and plan to skip on it, I would suggest you, not to do it, rather give it a try expecting it to be more action than horror. It is a decent game but is easily a super overhated game.

RESIDENT EVIL 7:- GO TELL AUNT RHODY, I HAVE A DIFFERENT AND UNPOPULAR TAKE:

Well this one is going to be extremely polarizing so a trigger warning for you guys ⚠️

Again, around 2-3 days back, I posted that, I am about to start with Resident Evil 7 and how dreaded I was feeling , that simply means I kept my expectations sky high but did the game live upto my expectations?

Short answer: well, it's a bit Complicated.

In the post, I've attached the link of, I have also mentioned that I am a sucker for Horror movies and I've watched almost every good horror movie ever made.. from Hollywood classics like The ring, TCM and Poltergeist to J-Horrors like Onibaba, Ju-on, Dark water and so.. from old Bollywood horrors like Madhumati and Mahal to kinda recent ones like Raat and Bhoot (Also, the underrated Bollywood non-supernatural horror which I feel is closest to Resident Evil 7 - Welcome Home! - You suggest and I watch.. I have even watched the movies that are considered the scariest like incantation and Dabbe). So I am a bit immune to the Horror genre. But I was genuinely terrified before starting the game, Somehow, I gathered courage, bought a base heavy NC Headphones and turned off all the lights before playing the game (Not to mention, I started at 10 PM and I stay alone) and I would say this... The game is Creepy and is awesome at it but talking of the scare factor.. it didn't live upto my expectations. I mean few Jumpscares did give me a sudden shock but those shocks aren't true horror IMO. Yes the game is Graphic and Grotesque, the house feels sick and rotting, the atmosphere was tense but I was like.. I've seen these things before.

Now talking about being stalked by a stalker. Man I feel RE7 is way more forgiving than RE2R. I mean Tyrant was mute but when you see tyrant enter your room, you feel like "Man, I am screwed" but the same doesn't go for the Baker's (many times I just run across them and they act as if Nothing happened) moreover they are loud so the dread factor decreases.

But, it doesn't mean that the horror factor doesn't exist in the game. Yes, there is horror the overall creepiness and disgust you feel while playing.. plus there is a part where I genuinely had palpations: When >! after fighting Marguerite, when he goes to get that arm for the ingredient of the serum !<, that part was genuinely scary. But otherwise, it was like, yeah it's creepy and unsettling but not in a way I thought.

Talking of the story, yeah it also kinda starts off as a Generic horror movie troupe. Some loved one is in trouble, you risk your life and go to a creepy and prolly haunted kind of House to get that person back.. but.. remember it's a part of The Resident Evil lore.. things aren't as generic as that. The mystery it had really was something that makes it a good story. Generic story, done well!

What I liked about the game. The horror kind of didn't live upto my expectations (Controversial opinion: Some parts of RE4R were more unsettling) but I would really give it to Capcom for the fan service and making a unique resident evil game with First person for total gaming immersion, the controls were pretty fluid and tight. I also liked that the puzzles in the game were not super difficult and frustrating. The game has jumpscares but it doesn't depend on it (Moreover, there are quite a few) I personally liked the gameplay and the classic Resident Evil feel I got and overall the narration of the game is quite good. It has a replay value (unlike 5 & 6 - the games that are good but only for one time).

Is it a good Resident Evil game:- Of course, they bought back the classic Resident Evil feel and kinda made it better. Is it good overall:- For me.. yes.. easily one of my top 10 favourites now.

My final take: The game is awesome, the VAs, the Narration, the mystery and the environment is quite on point but for me, if the Game had a more Gothic theme than a rotting American rural house as a backdrop, it would've been more scary and unsettling for me (Well I know there is a reason why they have a rotting American rural house in Lousiana as backdrop so it's just my thoughts not a suggestion not a complaint), I guess that's why I am looking forward to Resident Evil Village (I am not keeping any high expectations because I really want to feel the game for what Capcom has to offer.)

My overall rating:- 8/10

Action:- 6/10

Entertainment:- 8/10 (The feeling of putting down the controller was kind of missing)

Story:- 8/10

Horror:- 7/10

Resident Evil Feel:- 9/10 (1 point as they removed the iconic RESIDENT EVIL title voice)

My final suggestion: Well, I feel there are two ways to go. If you already have play Resident Evil games, you might wanna take a good long break from the series to experience the dread and second if you want to get into the series but don't know how, you can start with this game. (And I feel you guys will be lucky ones to feel the Dread.. just don't keep your expectations to 100%, keep to to 80, you'll enjoy the dread)

CONCLUSION:

Well, just like comedy, Horror and gaming are also quite subjective. Something that gives you diarrhea might help me sleep well. And a game, you might find boring, for me it might be a perfect binge material. So maturity is in understanding and accepting the subjective nature of choices and respect that.

Then comes expectations: I enjoyed Resident Evil 6 because I kept that kind of expectations from the game and those were met. Similarly I had gigantic expectations from Resident Evil 7 and those expectations weren't met. So yeah, expectations are quite complicated to understand so just use them meticulously.

What are your opinions on Resident Evil 6 and 7 or RE as a franchise?

Thank You

A few days back I had posted this. Basically I called Resident Evil 5 a boring game. Now, I would like to take my words back. Well, I won't deny the controls were slow and clunky and there is no way you can convince me that it justified the time the game came out. GTA IV came out in 2008, Gears of War came out in 2006, Halo came out in 2001. So please don't defend it. The gameplay was Dated even for 2009. Plus, if you don't play Co-op, you are doomed, Sheva's AI is stupid she just knows 2 things: Take whatever you find and waste bullets (honorable mentions: never use the right weapon for the right enemy and waste first aid kit even for slightest health depletion). Plus the game threw the core theme of Resident Evil out of the window. It was an action game with the gameplay of a survival horror. (plus come on man, zombies using Aks and RPG, I mean I survived Tyrant and Nemesis only for this 🤦🏼‍♂️.

But despite all these drawbacks, I kinda found it fun:

To start with, the graphics, I mean for a pee filter era game, the graphics are quite sharp and well defined, the kind that would've, I guess, held up quite well for at least mid 10's. If you follow the franchise, The story plays a major part. I don't know about others, but I personally loved the boss fights. Some fights like >! The Hide and seek fight where you survive Jill and Wesker for 7 minutes and the following fight where you rip off the device from Jill's chest !< and >! Part 1 of the final fight where you fire a RPG at Wesker and whatever shenanigans you do afterwards !< , were quite unique fights but my personal favourite was >! Irving !<. Plus the way the game moves forward is quite hard to quit

TLDR ?? Ok a quick summary for you guys (also the concluding para)

Despite all its flaws, Resident Evil 5 is quite a decent game. A game I was about to quit because it lacked the Resident Evil feel, to the one I completed today. I would call it a one-timer ball, but with no repeat value. If (after I finish Resident Evil Requiem) I ever get to revisit the franchise, I might watch its summary video on Youtube or Chat GPT it's story rather than playing it again. A straight 6/10 for me.

P.S. expectations from a game matters a lot!! I am expecting Resident Evil 6 to be a full blown action game rather than a scary Horror game (as reviewed by many) so that I expect to enjoy it more and to the fullest

What is your opinion on Resident Evil 5?

I still remember when I started with Yakuza 0, I was like.. Yeah let's just give it a try and let's see what this hype is all about!! It was March 2024.. The first thing that disappointed me was that there was no option of English and I had to go through the entire game relying on the Subs.. I literally quit and didn't touch it till June, when I saw a Gameranx video and I was kinda impressed by the combat. I was like, ok I won't give much heed to the story but play it for the combat gameplay. I remember for someone who was not into Japanese games, the first 40 Minutes to an hour was a pain. I wanted to quit but something told me, keep going you might find treasure ahead. And that voice was right!! Yakuza 0 was literally one of the best games I ever played and I loved it so much that I found it better than my then top favourite game - RDR 2..

I was on a yakuza run till Yakuza 6 (Yakuza 5 was so long and action dense that By Yakuza 6 I was kinda feeling the burn out) by the time I started with Judgement, I was completely burned out.. so I quit Judgement, thanks to the burnout and started with other games like Skyrim and doom and doom eternal.. (It was late 2024). I remember Starting Yakuza/Like a dragon before judgement and I started it in the last week of October 2024 and finished it by the first week of December and then started with Judgement. Judgement was the time I got so inspired that I started learning Japanese (From being someone who hated the fact the game is only in Japanese to someone who was so inspired that he started learning Japanese) - Because of my profession and some serious medical conditions I faced, My Japanese learning has been quite slow, somehow I got a Certificate from a national university with A grade so yeah, Yakuza has brought a change in me as a person. I will take time but I'll surely never stop learning Japanese.

Moving on, Judgement was a game that was a slow burn, just like Yakuza 0, I hated the first few hours but once I grasped the story, it felt quite amazing. I had taken a month break from Gaming after I was done with Judgement and then I started with Ishin. I kinda stopped underestimating the Yakuza burnout. So I deviced a plan - Play two games, play some other 2 games, return back and repeat. So I returned and played lost judgement (with Kaito Files) and Gaiden. This time, my break was quite long. It was like 10 months to a year long. I played some real awesome non Yakuza games like Resident Evil 2R, 3R and My favourite RE4R, The Witcher, Oblivion remake, Call of duty WWII and Bo6, Cyberpunk 2077 (Tbh it was awesome but not that great) and did a few re runs like GTA V, RDR 2 and Sleeping Dogs... I returned back in April 2026 with Infinite wealth, tbh, I still don't understand the hate this game gathers as it's an amazing game with some real tear jerking side stuff and an emotionally heavy narration. Same with pirate yakuza.. IMO it was a decent, an above average game that doesn't deserve the hate it receives. It was absurd, it was crazy, it was non Yakuza like but again, it wasn't bad. I finished the game about 3 days back (Screw my health I am posting it today).

Ok, also I haven't played Yakuza Kiwami 3, Dark ties because I feel it would kinda mess up the chronology again.. neither did I play OG Yakuza 1 and 2, Dark Souls, Kurohyō, dark souls, Kenzan and Lost Paradise!!

All I wanna say about The series now is that it is a unique experience, you may not like the game at first but when it grows on you, you stop caring about other games.

Talking of a re run, of course I'll go for a re run but I'll start the re run with Stranger than heaven.. and Yes in the re run, I'll also play Yakuza Kiwami 3 and Dark Ties (Please don't tell me not to play them as YOU didn't like it, I was said the same for pirate yakuza, I ended up liking it).

Please share your journey with the franchise.

Thank you!!

Sirf post mat dekho review bhi do ke game kaisa hai!! (Don't just enjoy the Post, please drop your review of the game as well)

Ok, I would like to visit the news channels that give unbiased, unemotional and totally professional reporting.

I really don't want to watch the ones who get or try to make us get emotional in any way - Sad, aggravating, humourous, Wholesome.. by any way.. I find that emotionally manipulative.

I can't watch Mainstream media (for obvious reasons) nor some of the YouTube channels that get too expressive while delivering the news (Somehow I find that cringe and distracting).

I want to watch the news and make my own opinions irrespective of what the news is, the same old free media that lets the audience make their opinions, The ones that belong neither to left or right. (they praise and criticise both the parties ). In short I want to watch a piece of news for the facts and figures, not for getting Humoured, Sad, angry or satisfied.

In short: Please suggest me a boring but unbiased and accurate news channel on YouTube

Thanks in Advance!!

Ok so here's the thing. I have a Yakuza 0 (OG) on my Xbox Series X, while I have already completed the game and I love the game a lot but there is one problem that ruins the fun of the game.. it hangs a lot.. !!

Therefore I was considering getting a copy of it (either Xbox or PS5).

Now please note that

- I have no problem with the Japanese language (though it's not my native tongue) as I am a student of the language

- The OG gameplay and environment is the best

- initially, I didn't like Shonnen no kaze's Bubble but now it's my favourite song. (I listen to it in a loop).

But again, I would like to leave it to the people who have played both the versions. Is it really worth it to pay $50 for the director's cut or shall I, somehow, manage with the OG one?
