Resident Evil Requiem
Thoughts
Warning
Spoilers ahead!
While I can’t say that it’s a better game than either of the remakes of Resident Evil 2 or Resident Evil 4, I think that Requiem does it’s own thing pretty darn well. Like I wrote in one of the progress entries, it takes elements from RE2R, RE4R, and Resident Evil 7/Resident Evil Village. I don’t think it has the best from those games, but I really enjoyed it. The story was interesting — I thought Victor Gideon was an interesting antagonist — so I was intrigued the whole time.
I managed to get the terrible ending the first time around, which is a very depressing one, by the way, but the game lets you jump right back to where you can pick the other option and get the real ending. I’m still a little confused about the BSAA and how they fit into everything — they were looking a little nefarious at the end of Village.

Main Story: Complete

Mission accomplished! I really enjoyed this Resident Evil title overall. I think it has a little bit of what makes both Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 4 Remake really good. I’m not sure if the various parts on their own are as good as those RE entries, but they work really well together in one package.

I’ve gotten a bit further now — I’m playing as Grace down in the tunnels under the clinic/research facility. I’m having a great time with Requiem so far! I’m curious how replayable it will end up feeling once I get through it the first time around.

So far, I’ve gotten through both of introductory sections for Grace and Leon. I just got to the part where you get control of Grace again — it’s cool so far!
