Resident Evil Requiem review

Resident Evil Requiem is the newest game here and the best choice if you want this year's survival horror rather than a remake. Capcom's Steam page sets it in the aftermath of Raccoon City, where the 1998 zombie outbreak ended in a covered-up missile strike, and splits the story between FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft, who carries the survival horror sections, and Leon S. Kennedy, who brings the action. Play mixes combat, investigation, puzzles and resource management, and you can switch between first-person and third-person views at will. Reviews are excellent at 96% positive among more than 55,000 English Steam reviews. It ranks below Resident Evil 2 on price and hardware: it costs $69.99, and the minimum spec calls for Windows 11, 16 GB of RAM, a GTX 1660 class GPU and an SSD. Like Resident Evil 2, it has no co-op. If you already own the older games and have a recent PC, start here.
