Resident Evil Requiem: A Split Identity — When Survival Horror and Action Collide
Final impression: Resident Evil Requiem is an entertaining but uneven effort to reconcile two distinct directions for the franchise. When it leans into slow-burn survival and unpredictability, it succeeds and even revitalizes familiar ideas. When it descends into nostalgic mimicry, the game loses momentum and purpose. It’s more successful than not, but the back-and-forth between old and new holds it back from being a truly bold next chapter. Score: 7.5/10.
