Check out our new exclusive final review of Resident Evil Requiem, after playing through the game to completion. This video includes our final impressions and never-before-seen RTX 5090 native 4K edited gameplay in Ultra Settings from the first hours of the game playing in third person! Resident Evil Requiem, running in RE Engine, is the much anticipated ninth mainline entry in the legendary survival horror franchise. Developed by Capcom and directed by Koshi Nakanishi (the director of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard), the game serves as a massive event to celebrate the series’ 30th anniversary.
✅ A LOVE LETTER TO THE FANS, DRENCHED IN SURVIVAL HORROR EXCELLENCE
📝 SUMMARY
Nakanishi returns to give the saga its soul back. A masterclass in tension, duality, and atmosphere.
⚖️ WHERE TERROR AND ACTION FIND PERFECT HARMONY
Resident Evil Requiem feels, from the very first moments, like a carefully crafted love letter to long-time fans of the series. This new installment presents a more grounded, emotionally charged experience, built around a striking duality: the raw, professional intensity of Leon S. Kennedy and the vulnerability, stealth-driven survival of Grace Ashcroft. This duality shapes the very rhythm of gameplay. Grace’s sections are defined by tension and restraint, where limited firepower and tight inventory turn every encounter into a calculated risk. Leon’s sequences deliver a deliberate release of that pressure, embracing a faster pace that allows players to confront hordes with precision. The transition feels seamless, sustaining engagement throughout the experience.
🎬 A CINEMATIC DESCENT INTO TRUE HORROR
The game adopts a distinctly cinematic tone, evoking dark thrillers like David Fincher’s Seven. The narrative leans into themes of investigation and mortality, delivering a level of maturity that feels unexpectedly bold for the franchise. This direction reflects the vision of Koshi Nakanishi (RE7), steering away from the chaotic entries of the past to embrace a story that treats the player as an adult. The result is a narrative that keeps you constantly on edge as the stakes for Leon and Grace escalate and makes every event feel genuinely consequential.
🎧 SOUND DESIGN THAT BREEDS TRUE FEAR
The sound design is masterfully unsettling. While the score is effective, the environmental audio truly elevates the experience. Subtle scratches and muffled screams contribute to a world that feels disturbingly alive. Played with headphones, silence becomes an exercise in sustained psychological tension.
🖥️ A TECHNICAL AND VISUAL BEAST
On an RTX 5090 at 4K Ultra, the graphical fidelity is stunning. Environments are richly detailed, lighting is handled with precision, and performance remains remarkably stable. The extensive configuration suite ensures players can tailor the experience without compromising visual impact.
📼 CLASSIC SURVIVAL HORROR
Resident Evil Requiem offers two standard modes: Classic and Modern. For veterans, Classic mode is the definitive choice. Playing as Grace, you must craft Ink Ribbons to save, reinforcing the series’ traditional emphasis on resource management. Leon, regardless of difficulty, benefits from automatic saves, preserving the flow of his action-oriented segments.
🏆 RESIDENT EVIL REQUIEM SECURES ITS PLACE AS A TOP 3
Resident Evil Requiem is a genuine triumph. Anchored by compelling characters, the story never loses momentum. From the claustrophobic Rhodes Ill Clinic to innovative open spaces, the level design is impeccable. It is not only one of the year’s standout titles, but arguably a top-three Resident Evil experience that confidently earns its place among the saga’s best.
✅ RELEASE DATE AND PLATFORMS
Coming February 27 to PS5, Xbox, PC and Switch 2.
