Resident Evil Requiem is too scary for series veteran Hideki Kamiya, who argues Capcom "should make a 'non-scary' mode" because "look, I just want to enjoy the puzzles"

Resident Evil Requiem.

Hideki Kamiya, legendary Capcom veteran with gems like Devil May Cry under his belt, has some thoughts to share on Resident Evil Requiem – a horror game that, uh, apparently has a tad too much horror in it.Experiencing the recent game alongside fellow developers from his own studio, Clovers Inc., Kamiya reveals he's always wanted a less spooky mode in Resident Evil games – you know, the horror series he worked on himself, having literally directed Resident Evil 2.

Amusingly, it's just too scary for him. "I've been saying for forever they should make a 'non-scary' mode," he admits in a clip of the devs playing Requiem together.
