god i love the resident evil universe. films and games, who with me?
the way these stories unfold is just chefs kiss. i was a bit hesitant at first given the differences to the og games (ive only played 1 & 2 remasters so far), but that faded quick once the story got its fangs in.
the story is the gameplay is the story. everything falls into place so seamlessly beat after beat, at your own hands, elevating it from merely surviving (which in lesser games just means overcoming the scary shit) to STRIVING, striving to beat that puzzle you got stuck on, striving to blast all the eyeballs off that boss so you can get that new cutscene for your story fix, striving to live!
no guarantee that the same foe will go down the same way twice, and fear achieved through a great story rather than cheap jumpscares. that's the type of shit that makes you forget its just games, when that gun in your hand starts feeling like your lifeline rather than a shooty thing with unlim ammo.
this is that interactive art i'm looking for!

My first JRPG and after such an exceptional and perfect experience it wasn’t the last.
Postal 2
2003
Feel like majority of the people love this game for the completely wrong reasons, the game has an "Overwhelmingly Positive" rating on Steam with lots of positive joke reviews making remarks on the silly humor of the game, or refer to it as a "so bad it's good" type of game, completely miss the depth the game has to offer than the "le funny pee", though I was also a part of that demographic.
The previous installment of Postal was a completely edgy game about a guy going Postal and going on a killing spree to kill enough people to progress to the next level, the next installment in the series, Postal 2 seems completely out of place right? I wouldn't say so, it's like Running with Scissors realized how silly it was so they made a complete satire of their previous game and overall hyperbolizing on the edginess and mock American Congressmen trying all in their power to ban videogames for making people go Postal ™. The satire is quite effective to this day and now functions as a time capsule to a really messed up period.
Underneath all that satire Postal 2 is also an effective horror game, the underground and cave locations with the Talibans and the asylum have an eerie atmosphere and sound design that makes you feel quite uneasy, the game's now dated graphics really give it the ugly look making it feel just like a snuff film, and not to mention the absolutely crazy finale that is just absolutely chaotic. the game also has aspects of Psychological Horror which comes from the sandbox nature of the game that tests the depths of human perversion and do messed up things that you would have never imagined you would think of doing until playing this game.

This is a nekomaru appreciation post
I personally think this is the best one in the trilogy. I liked the ambiance, the cases, and some of the characters!
I basically binged it like, 7 hours a day... It was an experience going to sleep at 6 A.M. by the feeling of excitement about the next chapter. The gameplay mechanics and story made it a really big thing for me, that I wish I could revisit for the first time.

The best game ever to have bad combat
This is the best Igavania
For gameplay, no
For Story, no
For Difficulty, no
It's the best because it has the balls to show off Shanoa's bare back that gets me going chimp mode

Nice beat-em-up. Fun characters and moves, very snappy and fast-paced, and a charming setting. Only real complaints here is that, much like Golden Axe, there's not much enemy variety and the bosses are not so hot.
