Resident Evil has always been a dangerous series – and Resident Evil Requiem has certainly gotten the hastily scribbled itchy-tasty memo. Even Capcom's classic games back on the PS1 have you wrangle tank controls with limited ammo to safely navigate an infestation of zombies. Unsure exactly when you'll need to bring out the big guns, and limited by inventory space, every Resident Evil fan understands the dilemma of trying to decide what to bring with you through a horror expedition, and the feeling of hoarding magnum bullets just in case you need them (then finishing with loads of them unused).
Resident Evil Requiem doesn't just understand how vital this feeling is to crafting the best survival horror games, but actually leans into the idea that you may want to be careful with your bullets from early on. In a genius twist, you actually start Resident Evil Requiem proper with the most powerful gun in the game in your inventory, and rarely don't have it as an option. The real question is – when will you choose to pull the trigger?
