Everyone loves Resident Evil’s Leon Kennedy- he’s beautiful, loyal, and the definition of a himbo. Off to rescue the president’s daughter halfway across the world? Better bring a pistol with one mag, an empty suitcase, and a nice warm jacket. No need for money, backup, or anything else. Just good looks and a few rounds in the chamber. Now, you might be asking what a himbo is, and you’re not alone - Leon Kennedy himself, Nick Apostolides, didn’t know what it meant....

The conversation remains ongoing with users sharing all kinds of different thoughts on the subject and explaining why they find certain enemies to be more difficult than others.

I get it, but at the same time, I’ve never been sure the description fits....
