Can confirm that Resident Evil: Requiem on the Switch 2 is great after playing it for a bit more, although I can't aim as well as I could on PS5, this probably means nothing if you play in docked mode with a pad like the Pro Controller. I'm trying to play in handheld mode as much as possible since I played this a million times on the TV with the PS5 and I want to see how much it has to compromise, to that I say the graphics aren't quite as nice but I think you'd be mad to complain about how it looks here and also it seemed to drop frames in one bit so far. (And I can play it bed if I want, wee)
Also that is still a really good game, especially the first third
I did eventually finish Leda's route, on the whole I liked it but I can't really shake that I hated the conclusion to it, wasn't surprised but somehow still disappointed. Dietrich next and I hope the carry over stuff makes this fly by because the sheer weight of this game is really getting to me, there has to be something I'm doing wrong.
Just lost hours of progress on this because the 'Restart Battle' and 'Restart Battle' option are right on top of each other, amazing.

Really cool horror game that I think serves as a fine example of 'greater than the sum of its parts' or at least what a cool idea/narrative can do to okay gameplay (Yes, Soul Reaver 2 that includes you). This is a battle of humanity against a cosmic evil that takes place over 2000 years, 12 or so people fight to uncover the mystery taking place in their time and everything they do feeds back to the main character in present day, what carries over isn't just knowledge but also abilities so after every chapter you find new parts of the mansion to unlock until finally she has the chance to step into the spotlight herself.
I do have some issues with it, some chapters are noticeably weaker than others, the combat in which you can target individual limbs is a cool idea that you don't ever really see taken advantage of, Alexandra's big moment is kind of short but I can se why this is such a cult classic.
It really should be on the NSO (Well a lot of games should be, or we'll have a Switch 3 before we see anything really cool), it feels like the exact sort of rare, exclusive that should be on here asap but for some reason it isn't. They added Luigi's Mansion near the end of last year's October, so fuck knows, maybe they'll drop Geist or something, you're a ghost in that right?
Between season 2 of the anime and the new update just dropped, I think I'm jumping back into Cyberpunk in the next day or so, might be on Xbox again, might be on Switch 2, we'll see.
