VGChartz’s Nicholas Taylor: “At the end of the day, Resident Evil Requiem stands tall with an unbelievably good first half, a very good second half, and just a few stumbles along the way. The narrative mainly harkens back to Resident Evil 2, but the spirit of it also feels very much in-line with Resident Evil 1, Resident Evil 4, and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. If you enjoyed any of these installments, you should have a blast with Requiem. As someone who has largely felt that recent Resident Evil offerings are generally fine but not spectacular, Requiem pretty much blew me away and makes me very excited to see what’s coming next for Capcom’s flagship franchise. If it had maintained that same level of excellence that the first half offered throughout the entire run, I’d probably put it in my top 5 games of all time. As it stands, though, it’ll have to settle for just being in the top 5 games of the last decade.”
