Hello everybody. Hope you all had a good weekend so far. I've made some major progress in Morrowind. Also been playing more casual Balatro on my phone. Have a great week!

Almost finished with Resident Evil Village. I didn't really like 7 and I would describe Village as a more refined version of 7, continuing the story and iterating on the first-person view and other mechanics they were going for in 7. It certainly feels betters to play. Thought I'd finish it before Requiem comes out, since I've beaten every other new gen RE game starting with the original Resident Evil 4 and beyond. 4 is very good and I think the RE Engine is one of the best around and has always had really smooth gameplay and performance while looking pretty. The games even give you previews of the graphical settings in the Options, which should be normalized. So while I don't know if I'd say it's my favorite series, every game is very tight and none of them (except 6) are bad. Recommend folks jump in at any point with either 4 remake, 2 remake, 5, or 7, since those are the start of different 'arcs' or are standalone.

I also just finished a replay of RE Village. RE Engine does have probably the best lighting in a game engine I've seen. Playing at max quality, with ray tracing and DLAA, I frequently stopped in game to appreciate various set pieces.
