Resident Evil Requiem Review: Classic Survival Horror With Modern Action
Resident Evil Requiem revisits 1998's Raccoon City Incident with dual protagonists, blending survival horror and action while delivering intense gore and numerous callbacks to Resident Evil 2.
- The ninth mainline entry, Resident Evil Requiem, splits play between a newcomer and a series veteran, with a first run lasting nine hours but feeling closer to 13 hours, highlighting its reinvention.
- Driven by nostalgia, the game’s design treats the Raccoon City Incident as sacred, constantly referencing Resident Evil 2 and staging a funeral for it, according to critics.
- Resource-Wise, killing enemies can worsen future encounters because Blister Heads resurrect, and the hemolytic injector causes lasting blood effects in the Care Center, while ammo remains scarce.
- Reviewers found that Requiem is mechanically satisfying and visually striking, though Leon S. Kennedy’s back-half fan service sometimes distracts, while PS5 performance remained stable with minor glitches fixed by reloading.
- For longtime fans, the ending hints the series may finally move beyond Raccoon City and Umbrella, but heavy nostalgia and bloat risk splitting reactions.
