Looks like we’ve got our first serious contender for the GOTY title this year.
89% on Metacritic. 88% on OpenCritic. Resident Evil Requiem has captured reviewers’ hearts, it seems.
Here’s a sample of what critics say.
IGN (90/100)
(…) Resident Evil Requiem successfully splices two separate strains of survival horror together into the one highly infectious new mutation. It signals the return of a series legend and the arrival of a likeable new lead, amps up the gore to a new stomach-turning standard, and unleashes a scarier breed of zombie alongside some truly beastly boss fights.
Giant Bomb (90/100)
Resident Evil Requiem is an excellent culmination of everything Capcom has learned during 30 years of making this franchise, and it serves as a tantalizing glimpse of what its future may hold.
Washington Post (88/100)
Requiem isn’t flawless, but it doesn’t need to be. Its levels breathe, its mechanics reward mastery and like good zombies, its creatures never stop moving. Fear, strategy and ritual coexist here in a way few games achieve, and even after nine playthroughs, it continues to surprise, challenge and delight.
