Review consensus
Resident Evil Requiem is a confident synthesis of the series’ modern horror and action traditions. Grace Ashcroft’s sections deliver tense exploration, resource management, stealth, puzzles, and some of the game’s most frightening encounters, while Leon Kennedy provides explosive combat and elaborate set pieces. Critics consistently praise the sharply contrasting protagonists, strong pacing, cinematic presentation, and effective blend of first- and third-person play. The main reservations are its relatively short campaign, reliance on familiar Resident Evil ideas, reduced replay impact after its surprises are known, and occasional excesses. Overall, Requiem is regarded as one of Capcom’s strongest recent entries.
