Resident Evil Requiem might technically be the ninth mainline game in the series, but it's a culmination of 30 years of the horror series that evolves on all the games over that period including spin-offs and remakes. Capcom has brought us some of the best survival horror games ever made across their years of refining Resident Evil, and Resident Evil Requiem feels, true to its name, like a real celebration of all of that, while also redefining what the series can mean in the future – which is why we loved it so much in our Resident Evil Requiem review.
After I finished Resident Evil Requiem once, I immediately had to start playing it again. And again. And again. I've played both characters using multiple camera angles, weapon configurations, and play styles while hunting for every collectible and secret in each area I can find, and it's fast become one of my favorite Resident Evil games. Splitting survival horror and action horror between two characters mean you never quite settle into one completely, but that does mean that Resident Evil Requiem has a unique rhythm in how it juggles both that helps it to stand apart. Join me as I take you through why that is, and count down the eight features I love the most that have kept me playing.
