The paper aims to provide a brief overview of soliton solutions obtained through the Hirota direct method. A bilinear formulation of soliton solutions in both (1+1)-dimensions and (2+1)-dimensions is discussed, together with applications to various integrable equations. The Hirota conditions for N-soliton solutions are analyzed and a few open questions regarding higher-dimensional cases and generalized bilinear equations are presented.
