After spending most of my life with this series, I approached Resident Evil Requiem with equal hesitation and open arms. It stumbles where certain mechanics fade out too quickly and a few systems could have gone further, but this is one nightmare I could not put down. The contrast between Leon S. Kennedy stepping into chaos with confidence and Grace Ashcroft walking into it unprepared gives the game its identity, balancing action and vulnerability in a way that feels true to the franchise’s history. It is not flawless, but its confident storytelling, tense survival design, and deeply replayable structure pulled me back in, reminding me why I keep returning to this series after all these years.

Resident Evil Requiem masterfully balances both souls of the series, while honoring a three-decade-old lore and laying the foundations for the future. Grace’s psychological terror and Leon’s action-driven intensity are expertly balanced and are coupled by great visuals and compelling storytelling. A must-play, both for the series' fans and anyone looking for an intense adventure.

What else is there to say about Resident Evil Requiem? To me, it’s one of the series’ most accomplished entries—perhaps the best since the revolution sparked by the fourth chapter. Grace and Leon’s journey blends the strongest elements of the franchise’s recent reinventions, delivering an unforgettable adventure driven by near‑perfect pacing. The first half shines for cohesion, while the second becomes more predictable yet consistently inventive in its gameplay ideas. Balancing new twists and fan service, Capcom’s latest confidently claims its place in the official timeline, offering a bold, modern horror experience that moves seamlessly between tension and action. It may only be early March, but Requiem already feels like a strong contender for Game of the Year—something far from guaranteed, thirty years after the first infection.

Resident Evil Requiem pulls off an impressive feat by blending modern gameplay mechanics with the grimy atmosphere of its origins. It delivers a particularly dense horror adventure, packed with nods and references, satisfying both fans of pure scares and adrenaline-fueled action junkies alike. The remaining question is whether the next installment will finally dare to clearly resolve the narrative arcs left hanging.

Resident Evil Requiem is a powerful return to the roots of survival horror, balancing vulnerability and action in two intelligently complementary campaigns. Grace represents raw fear and survival on the edge; Leon, experience and direct confrontation with horror. With a striking setting, constant tension, and respect for the franchise's legacy, the ninth chapter proves that there is still much to explore in this universe. Even with minor technical limitations on the Switch 2, the experience remains intense and memorable. If the goal was to deliver a requiem for horror, Capcom succeeded. And succeeded with honor.

Essential
Mar 1, 2026

Capcom has delivered another outstanding Resident Evil. Requiem is tense, stylish, mechanically sharp, emotionally grounded where it needs to be, and wildly entertaining when it decides to go loud. If you love this series, this is essential. If you never played a Resident Evil game, especially since the whole remakes started, while you will still enjoy the sh*t out of this one, you will miss a lot of nods to the history of the series. Still, this is a great reminder of why Resident Evil still owns this lane.

Resident Evil Requiem kicks off as a near-perfect slice of modern survival horror, but can’t sustain that brilliance across its full campaign.

There’s no need to overcomplicate this. Resident Evil Requiem is a fantastic game that shows how to properly lay a long-running storyline to rest. If you’ve played the first two entries, this is one you absolutely shouldn’t miss. It delivers long-awaited answers to questions that have lingered for nearly 30 years.

Resident Evil Requiem shows again why survival horror games are still popular by careful planning, control of atmosphere, and well-thought-out ways to progress. It's not a big change; as an alternative, it's a steady, meaningful progression in a legendary bloodline.

Requiem is a triumph of modern Resident Evil, with alternating perspectives between Grace and Leon keeping the pacing dynamic, puzzles that challenge your wits, and exploration that rewards careful observation. The gameplay loop feels both familiar and refined, all while weaving decades of Resident Evil lore into a coherent, satisfying narrative. With its depth, content, and meticulously crafted gameplay, Requiem earns a confident recommendation as a must-buy for fans and newcomers alike.

Resident Evil Requiem pulls you back to Raccoon City with two strong routes. Grace’s chapters bring slower, nervous survival horror, while Leon’s side sticks to harder-hitting combat. You sneak through hotels and clinics with a flashlight, juggling blood injector choices and limited ammo. Then you swap to over-the-shoulder fights where kicks, axe swings, and quick weapon swaps clear the room. The story spends a lot of time on old Umbrella lore and gives Leon more of the focus by the end. If you are already into Resident Evil, this stands up as one of the strongest modern games in the series.

What Capcom has built here is a confident, frequently terrifying, occasionally overstuffed piece of survival horror that earns its place near the top of a very good franchise.
