Let’s start with Titan Souls, i went in completely blind and had no idea it was a boss-rush. This is probably the most normal game Devolver has ever Published and i can’t believe i haven’t seen this in a speedrun marathon yet. I haven’t much to say about the game because while playing i was constantly reminded of Shadow of the Colossus. The visual, the ost, the colossi, it was an absolute masterpiece. I wish i could replay it for the first time :(

I also beat Resident Evil 0 a couple of hours ago. After a decade it’s still pretty solid, even though i hate having to play in coop with an AI (the only reason i dropped RE5). I am a bit confused by the choice to eliminate any container, i had to litter the ground with ammo, herbs and what not. The game alleviate this problem by having everything connected (which created some odd scenario) but it was still a pita to backtrack half the map to grab the magnum that i left in the main hall.
Also for the longest time i thought that RE lore had become a joke after 3, boy i was wrong. Capcom jumped the shark 15 years ago with the esoteric and campy writing.

This reminds me that I have to return to RE0 and finish the game. It’s been a while so I’m not 100 % sure what I have already done …. And yes the story writing of RE was always cheesy (have you seen the original intro of RE1?) so I wonder why people have been attacking the later games for it. Still, despite the obvious B movie flair (or maybe because of it) I think the main story spanning from RE0-6 is actually interesting.

Played the original trilogy when i was 10, i probably thought the writing was the coolest shit ever.
