The Problem with Resident Evil Requiem

Is Resident Evil Requiem the survival horror masterpiece everyone is calling it... or does it have some serious problems? In this no-holds-barred review, I break down the ninth mainline Resident Evil game from Capcom – the one that mixes tense survival horror with FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft and over-the-top action with Leon S. Kennedy.After 30+ hours with the game (released February 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Switch 2), I explore why the story feels uneven, the alternating gameplay styles clash more than they complement, and a few frustrating design choices hold it back from greatness. Zombies, Raccoon City callbacks, emotional stakes, and that signature RE atmosphere are all here… but so are the problems.If you're on the fence about buying Resident Evil Requiem, this review will help you decide: Buy, Wait, or Skip?
