"Resident Evil imagines that the bogeyman is out there. It's the nefarious pharmaceutical corporation, or the unhinged private military company. Eugenics-obsessed scientists ready to lose their own humanity for monstrous ambitions. Capcom's storied horror franchise also doesn't shy away from a bit of silliness."
"Resident Evil Requiem, the series' ninth main entry that releases February 27, embraces the agile versatility of its predecessors with a self-assured reverence that's marvellous to behold. You want heart-stopping survival horror? It's here. Roughhouse action? You got it. Conspiratorial lore about bioterror threats and a story that confronts the past head on? Check."
"Resident Evil Requiem is an ambitious, audacious game that puts all its cards on the table without a shred of hesitation. And boy, is it a winning hand. Capcom has clearly made Resident Evil Requiem in the mould of the franchise's multitudinous identity channelled through the game's two protagonists."
Resident Evil defies simple categorization, spanning from desperate survival horror to action-packed monster vanquishing. Unlike Silent Hill's internal trauma focus, Resident Evil externalizes threats through corrupt corporations, rogue militaries, and unethical scientists. The franchise balances genuine scares with intentional silliness, featuring recurring elements like exploring haunted locations, solving puzzles, and confronting new virus strains. Resident Evil Requiem, the ninth main entry releasing February 27, synthesizes this multifaceted legacy by delivering survival horror, action sequences, bioterror conspiracy narratives, and the franchise's characteristic pulpy Hollywood aesthetic simultaneously. The game represents an ambitious, confident approach that honors the series' versatility across its various incarnations.
