EurogamerMatt WalesFeb 20265/5Capcom marks Resident Evil's 30th anniversary with a stellar return that's both a masterful bit of suffocating horror and a nostalgic, fan-thrilling victory lap for the legendary series.

GameRantDalton CooperFeb 202610/10Resident Evil Requiem is a horror gaming masterpiece and one of the best games Capcom has ever made. It's the ultimate Resident Evil game and will be remembered as fondly as the franchise favorites in the years to come.

ZTGDKen McKownMar 202610/10Resident Evil Requiem is easily my favorite game so far in 2026. It is very high on my list of Resident Evil games, only fighting with RE2 as the best of all time. This is an easy recommendation. This game is one of the best I have played in years, and I cannot recommend it enough. Do not hesitate, play this game. Capcom continues to hit on all cylinders, and I cannot wait to see what they do next.

Daily MirrorFeb 20263/5 starsAs it stands, Requiem is a Resident Evil of two halves - and that’s by design. It’s just a shame that it results in a somewhat confused new entry that often ends up obsessed with regurgitating the past for the sake of nostalgia as opposed to forging ahead forward towards the future of survival horror.

Niche GamerMar 20266/10Somewhere in Resident Evil Requiem is a good horror game, but it’s lost in the franchise’s bullshit of retcons, red herrings, and lazy pandering. Any goodwill earned from the cool first half is wasted during the slapped-together mess of the second half. This baggage is weighing down the franchise from reaching its full potential. It tries to please everyone, and in its desperation, it pleases no one.
