Customer Ratings & Reviews

Resident Evil Requiem feels like a deliberate pivot back toward suffocating survival horror rather than bombastic action. The pacing is slow, oppressive, and intentionally uncomfortable. Resources are scarce, enemies are durable, and exploration is structured around tension rather than spectacle. When it works, it’s brutally effective—especially in enclosed environments that weaponize sound design and lighting. Mechanically, the game doubles down on vulnerability. Combat is less about domination and more about survival calculus: Do you spend ammunition or risk slipping past? The inventory system reinforces that pressure, and the save structure adds genuine stakes. Boss encounters lean more psychological than explosive, favoring atmosphere over scale. It’s not flashy—but it doesn’t want to be. Where it may divide players is momentum. Those expecting the kinetic energy of Resident Evil 4 or the cinematic escalation of Resident Evil Village may find it restrained. The story is intimate and bleak rather than epic. That restraint is either maturity or limitation, depending on taste. As a horror experience, though, it commits fully—and that commitment gives it weight.

This game is intense! It's like a combo of RE4 and RE7. Highly recommended.
