I didnt think anything would top Resi 2 for me but here we are. I so badly wanted Capcom to go back to the old stories after 7/8, and they delivered. This game feels like 1 with the mansion, 2 with locations and characters, pays homage to 0, enemies from 1/2/3- Its 100% a love letter to all those early games and I adore it so much, several times I left my chair from pure excitement. Thank you Capcom for genuinely …

Hands down, the best Resident Evil ever made. Lately, the series has split the fanbase. Many of us, myself included, questioned the shift to first-person in the mainline entries. But Capcom pulled off a miracle here, leaping way beyond expectations. It weaves together the finest gameplay elements from every numbered title, delivering a phenomenal experience that clicks for every fan. It excels as both horror and …

I went into Resident Evil Requiem with literally zero expectations You start the game as Grace Ashcroft, and I was NOT ready for how scary the opening would be. The first-person mode makes everything worse (in a good way) The Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center is designed way too well (basically means I was lost, scared, and stressed at the same time) And yes… zombies now have personalities because of the T-virus. Like …

What stood out the most to me is how well the game manages to capture the spirit of the older survival horror entries while still feeling modern in the way it plays. It really feels like the developers tried to bring back that balance between exploration, tension, and resource management that made the earlier titles so memorable, the story is told in a gradual way and doesn’t immediately explain everything to the …

I cannot believe what I just played... Resident Evil: Requiem... is lightning in a bottle which very few survival horror games can become. Requiem borrows the best elements from past Resident Evil games. It has the classic tone you experienced when exploring Spencer Mansion, the gritty atmosphere of Resident Evil 7, the dark ruins of Resident Evil 2, and the kickass gameplay of Resident Evil 4 remake. Requiem is the …

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Playing as Grace is basically "Extreme Hide and Seek" where the seeker wants to eat your face. Then you swap to Leon, who is basically too tired to be scared anymore and just starts parrying everything with a hatchet. 10/10 Also can't wait to play tetris with my inventory.

Resident Evil Requiem was one of those rare games where I genuinely enjoyed almost every moment. From the atmosphere to the story and choices at the end, this game kept me hooked the entire time. My only real frustrations were with the zombies and the weapon system. Ammo can sometimes feel a bit too limited, and missing just two shots can easily put you in trouble until you find more. I also wish there were more weapons…

Runs smoothly on my PC, The graphics are stunning, Works great with my DualSense 5, but the game shows Xbox button icons :( After 2 hours of gameplay, It’s definitely worth buying at full price, Stealth mode with Grace, YOLO mode with Leon, Good Job, CAPCOM! EDIT: DS5 button icons are working now — just switch to Type B in the controller settings.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →WOW…I cannot express how much fun this was to experience. This is by far one of Capcom's most ambitious titles in the franchise. In RE4, the franchise shifted to a more action style game that still retained horror elements but not to the extent of earlier entries. Requiem retains the same quality of action from RE4 but ramps up the horror unlike their previous attempt with RE6. When I was playing, I was curious if the horror to action transitions would interrupt the flow of gameplay but the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Capcom... same old Capcom, always delivering. But this time, it’s different. They really nailed the vibes. The stress and that constant survival panic with Grace, then the pure adrenaline and "fury" with Leon... it’s a crazy mix. I knew it was going to be good, but honestly? Not this good. For the first time in years, a game actually blew me away. It’s not just about the graphics or the gameplay, it’s the whole feeling of it. Going back to Raccoon City and the R.P.D. station felt so special,…

neutral · AI labelView post →Resident Evil Requiem feels like a turning point in the series. For me, it’s the end of an old era and the beginning of a new one. I’ve been waiting for this since Resident Evil Village in 2021. When I started Requiem, I was excited but also curious — especially after the developers said you don’t need to play the previous games to understand this one. After finishing it, I can say that they were right. The game explains what you need to know, and at the same time it connects the story from…

neutral · AI labelView post →TL;DR: The first half feels daring and tense. The second half collapses into hollow nostalgia and recycled Leon angst. It looks fantastic and plays smoothly, but the story and pacing feel unfocused, villians are paper thin, low replayability in my eyes. Less of a confident evolution to the series and more a retreat into safe, familiar ground that chips away at what makes new resident evil games special and interesting.

It delivers a powerful return to Raccoon City, blending emotional weight with masterfully paced survival horror that honors the legacy while fearlessly pushing forward.

neutral · AI labelView post →TLDR: Requiem somehow manages to be a love letter to almost every era of the series. Capcom really just looked at 30 years of Resident Evil and said: "yeah, let’s use all of it." Classic survival horror, RE4-style action, and even RE7/Village first-person horror. It sounds like it shouldn’t work together... but somehow it does. Nostalgic and fresh at the same time, which is not an easy trick to pull off. Requiem is honestly just a really well-designed game. I don’t know how Capcom managed to…

The combination of Grace's (survival horror) and Leon's (action horror) play styles is simply peak! I was a little worried that the transitions from action sequences with Leon to Grace hiding under the table would disrupt the immersion in the game a bit. But honestly, it's great! Of course, the amazing pacing contributes a lot to this. It's refreshing to see a completely new, unseasoned character. Frightened, terrified, and unsure of…
