Resident Evil Requiem is a conscious exercise in reconciliation that brings two fundamental concepts of the series face-to-face: vulnerability and competence. Capcom recovers the traumatic memory of Raccoon City and attempts to tie up loose ends that, for decades, seemed scattered across the shoulders of two dichotomous protagonists. Grace represents fear, scarcity, and psychological weight. Leon symbolizes legacy, experience, and the inevitable erosion of terror in someone who has already seen too much. The game delivers two distinct rhythms and an alternation between tension and action within a cycle cemented in the franchise's history. Featuring an intelligent design evolution and a succession of striking moments—though not always providing the player agency that horror needs to truly assert itself—it keeps one foot firmly planted in its legacy and the other in the future.

The ninth entry in the long running main series doesn't quite live up to the perhaps overly grandiose promises of the ultimate Resident Evil experience. The hybrid between survival horror and more straightforward action is still a definite success by the standards of the series.

Leon’s latest adventure features some of the coolest moments in the franchise, some terrific scares with Grace’s sections, and an interesting story that opens up many exciting possibilities for the franchise going forward.
Despite its hits and misses, Resident Evil Requiem stands as a true love letter to fans of the franchise, offering a dark campaign that lets players take control of Leon Scott Kennedy and Grace Ashcroft. Even with certain narrative limitations and a lack of depth regarding its enemies, the game makes it clear that its gameplay is a steady evolution compared to previous titles, blending dynamic combat, a frenetic pace, and an extremely fluid experience.

Resident Evil Requiem is a confident return to the horror roots that defined the series' identity through Grace's levels. Yet at the same time, it isn't afraid to also redefine its action gameplay, which is arguably more enjoyable than ever through Leon’s segments. Requiem isn't just a sequel to the Resident Evil Series, but a love letter to the series evolution, and proof that horror can still thrive without losing its soul. All of these elements combined made this game, quite simply, the best Resident Evil title since Resident Evil 4.

Resident Evil Requiem continues to breathe life into the series, making excellent use of new and old ideas to tell a story that fans will love every second of.
Heavy on nostalgia and fan service with the occasional violent delight thrown in, Requiem is a mostly fun Resident Evil title that still feels like a step down from its predecessor.
Resident Evil Requiem delivers a familiar yet enjoyable horror action experience that isn’t without its flaws. Pacing issues can make Grace’s portions feel drawn-out and generally, she’s not a very likeable character. However, there’s enough spine-chilling atmosphere here to make up for its shortfalls.
Resident Evil Requiem keeps Capcom’s winning streak going, even if, at times, it does buckle under the weight of its own ambition. The overriding feeling after seeing the credits roll after the 10-hour mark was surprise that the adventure was over so soon. I wanted more, especially for Leon, whose sections felt like they weren’t afforded enough opportunities to shine. While post-game weapon and difficulty unlocks provide replay value, Requiem feels like it could have benefited from extra time in the oven. For as long as it lasts, however, Requiem is fantastic. It feels like the culmination of Capcom’s learnings from years of indecision over whether the series should be full-on horror or action, delivering the best of both worlds.
Resident Evil Requiem isn’t just another entry in the series—it’s the culmination of decades of experimentation, refinement, and passion. Both longtime fans and newcomers alike will find it a hauntingly rewarding experience that captures everything Resident Evil has always aimed to be: terrifying, tense, and unforgettable.
Resident Evil Requiem is a very good adventure that suffers from uneven pacing and sudden shifts in gameplay styles. The experiment of squeezing two games into one works well enough to be fun, but it’s unlikely to be remembered as one of the best entries in the Resident Evil series.

Resident Evil Requiem blends the lessons and learnings of the franchise over the last ten years to create a game that offers a varied, constantly surprising, and boundary-pushing gameplay experience and a narrative that is vital to fans of the series.
Resident Evil Requiem is a masterful dual-narrative that harmonizes the franchise's identity, pitting Grace’s claustrophobic, resource-starved survival horror against Leon’s high-octane, RE4-inspired combat. By revisiting Raccoon City with polished 4K/60fps visuals and flexible perspectives, it delivers a definitive, "best-of" experience that satisfies both purists and action junkies.
Resident Evil Requiem is a celebration of the franchise's legacy with well-crafted scares and tension, big action, and a story that swings from engaging to goofy at the drop of a dime.
After a five-year wait, you can rest easy, because Resident Evil Requiem—especially in terms of gameplay—is everything a fan of the Capcom saga could hope for. It offers equal parts action and horror, cinematic cutscenes with outstanding direction, and—despite a few minor flaws—plenty of surprises. Furthermore, the franchise's DNA remains intact in every corner of the game, and those who enjoy exploring every last file will find a highly polished story in this installment, brimming with clues about what lies ahead. But for now, we can only say that Resident Evil Requiem is undoubtedly one of the must-have games of 2026.

Resident Evil Requiem brings a lot of familiarity, but also dynamism by embodying in the newcomer Grace and the veteran Leon two different approaches in one campaign, alternating between the fear of survival horror and the empowerment that invites us to engage in direct and confident action. These two distinct facets are already known, but together they form a whole worthy of both resuming the main story of the series and serving as a viable entry point.
