Resident Evil Requiem

Resident Evil Requiem is one of the best, if not the best, Resident Evil games I’ve ever played. And I mean ever. The controls, the level(s) of difficulty, the characters, and the story are all immersive. The only thing I wanted to put down are those zombies. Capcom has done it again.

The next evolution of the Resident Evil series has officially arrived and it delivers on nearly every front. From the visceral, gory combat to the tense, compounding sense of dread that accompanies every darkened hallway, Requiem feels like a love letter to every Resident Evil fan. The dual-protagonist addition works to near perfection, with Grace thriving on tense, survival horror driven moments of terror, while Leon deploys the heavy firepower and one-liners to bring up the rear. Its environments and settings have a sense of familiarity to the horrors hiding just out of sight, while feeling like a brand new monster entirely. Though the story does falter towards the end, I feel confident in saying that Requiem is one of the strongest entries in the series as a whole. It does just enough to honor the past, while pushing full steam ahead towards the future.

I should mention that there are a couple of details in the story that didn't quite fit for me and seemed a bit forced, and that the boss battles, in general, seemed quite easy compared to other instalments in the series. Otherwise, I can only praise the work that Capcom has prepared for us.

The most entertaining new Resident Evil game in over two decades, with fantastic combat, amazing graphics, effective scares, and the most enjoyably bad one-liners in the business.

Resident Evil Requiem confidently honours the franchise’s legacy by bringing Leon back into the spotlight while simultaneously laying the groundwork for its future with a compelling new character. Backed by a proven formula, a passionate fan base, and the ever-reliable RE Engine, the future of the Resident Evil franchise looks brighter than ever.

We'd love to talk about Requiem as a masterpiece, the best of the three most recent numbered titles in the series. Unfortunately, despite a first installment of the adventure capable of achieving excellent results, we can't do so, nor can we hide our bitter taste as longtime fans. This is because the success of the overall experience is partially compromised precisely when more space is given to an icon of the series, the protagonist of an action-horror section that simply doesn't live up to the previous one, though not without its own beautiful moments. We conclude by saying that yes, Requiem is still worth playing, even just to experience its evolved "zombies" and to discover how it looks to the series' past (and future).

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.

Es un RE perfecto. Tienes la tensión y sustos con Emily y la acción de Leon. Es una maravilla que hayan regresado a horror. Muy recomendable al igual que sus remakes (2, 3 y 4)

Sobrevalorado. Si bien tiene muchas cosas buenas, como el cambio en los zombies que ahora demuestran una cierta personalidad. La historia y la narrativa me parece tan un paso atrás con respecto a los anteriores juegos que me cabrea. Es una historia que tiene 30 años de desarrollo y se **** años entre juego y juego. Y en 2026 te sacan este que no dice casi nada, con malos mediocres y unos personajes vacíos y sin sentidoa estas alturas. No me hagas hablar del final no Canon. Lamentable. Se me hizo hasta largo porque en cuanto te paras a pensarlo no pasaba nada interesante que no se haya tratado en anteriores resident.

The game has an exceptional first half with good pacing, albeit with far too many slow sections involving a heavily scripted stalker enemy; however, it falls apart in the second half, where the character switching breaks down, the art direction and variety of enemies leave much to be desired, there are some uninspired gameplay choices—some of which resemble a multiplayer game’s reward system—as well as glaring gaps in the script and presentation, which are far too absurd even for a Resident Evil game. Furthermore, replay value is reduced to the bare minimum, as many sections impose a slow pace and others (in the second half) are watered down.

The game is fun but way too much similar to previous ones, no originality whatsoever, just already seen mechanics a thousand times and fan service (I like Leon but he is now a caricature)

Interesting premise and great horror in the beginning is quickly ruined by run-of-the-mill action with game mechanics from 20 years ago. Once you pass the 50% mark, the story gives up entirely. Instead of building up the only interesting character further (Grace), it desperately attempts to create some kind of reason for everything, but the "creative" minds behind it just couldn't deliver. Leon feels about as engaging as a protagonist as rotten cheese. Requiem is yet another boring RE sequel that would have been better as a standalone horror game without the 20-something years of baggage that came before it.
