5. Gunfright | 1985 | "Rare Replay" Collection | Xbox Series X | 1/29:
Doing this one to mainly progress in unlocking all achievements in Rare Replay. It could take me years to complete the entire collection or I may never complete it, but it's worth a shot to me. Out of the 5-ish games I've completed so far in this collection, this has to be probably the worst so far. It's not that it's aged poorly -- in fact, it's pretty straightforward: find the wanted criminal and beat them in a duel. It's just that: anything and everything will try and kill you. Cactus kills you, tumbleweeds kill you, walking into pedestrians kills you; it's never-ending.
Even after avoiding all obstacles in your path and getting to challenge your bounty to a duel, there's no guarantee you'll be able to kill them after the third level. There is an absurd difficulty spike after about the third level where the wanted target will give you almost no time to react to shooting them in a duel because you will already be shot dead by them. The only way to cheese this system is by using the Rare Replay "rewind" function to have good enough RNG to react in time and shoot them. The bounty can take less than a second to shoot you if you're unlucky or up to two seconds if you are lucky.
The basic premise of the game and its gameplay are both fun, but most of the game will be spent abusing the rewind button in order to complete it. Grade: D+

I hadn't fully committed to it but I made sure to write down my thoughts after completing each game, with the possibility of uploading my chicken-scratch on the internet. It's my first time writing something about a game, so I wasn't really confident with what I was writing to begin with. So far however, I think I've improved from when I first started at the beginning of the year to where I'm at now. I went back to revise some of my earlier works and now I'm confident sharing what I've wrote! (albeit several month later).

Better late than never! I was the same way when I first started writing out my personal thoughts, too. If the effort is put in, there will definitely be improvement. I've always enjoyed reading others' thoughts here if they decide to share them. Hopefully you keep at it.

61. Resident Evil 4 Remake
Resident Evil 4 didn't need a remake. But, I'm glad it got one. This was one of the most fun and well-polished games I've played in a while. Tons of combat options. A good challenge. Great visuals and vibes. And, it really managed to capture both "survival" and "horror" equally. I was really impressed that they managed that. I also liked how they handled the characters. Leon is still great, but Ashley and Luis are great in this iteration. And Ada is fierce is always. If I had one complaint, it'd be the final boss. It was almost too "actiony" for the controls. Other than that, great game. I got a B ranking while playing on Standard mode. Fun fact: I got Krauser on my first try!

I was shocked by how good this remake was. It's likely my second favorite RE game ever made.
