This is one of those cases where elements of realism can add to the enjoyment of the game. Totally unnecessary, but definitely nice. I'm quite impressed by the attention to detail that the animators for Resident Evil Requiem brought to the table. The graphics are great overall, but the animations in particular are top notch and show that they did their research.
Leon does tactical reloads by swapping magazines and putting the partially empty one back on his belt. When the magazine is entirely empty he just dumps it. He even has different animations for a compact shotgun with pistol grip and a full-size shotgun with long stock. Cool stuff.
So I just had to comment on that. This kind of extra effort in video game design deserves some praise.
