Requiem is my first Resident Evil game – I had no idea what was happening, but loved it anyway

I’ll paint a picture. I’m playing as Leon. I have no idea why he’s so loved, but he makes me feel safe, has nice hair, and it’s a break from Grace’s stuttering and heavy breathing. I’ve been investigating Raccoon City for a while, something bad apparently happened here, but I couldn’t tell you what, and now I’m at the old police station, which seems like a big deal because it’s littered with references I don’t understand. There’s a puzzle! Great, I love puzzles. I approach it and it says ‘that was a weird puzzle’. Was it? So, I wander around for a bit, not knowing how to solve it, until I realise this is another throwback to a game I’ve never played and an ‘in’ joke I’ll never get. But I weirdly smile anyway, because I’m happy for Resident Evil fans – I bet this gave them a little chuckle.
