The Resident Evil series returns in full force, and its ninth mainline entry, subtitled Requiem<\/a><\/em>, proves that Capcom still knows how to define the survival horror genre. While previous major projects like Monster Hunter Wilds<\/a><\/em> struggled with optimization, Requiem<\/em> arrived in a surprisingly solid state, even on handhelds. If we were to look for the closest comparison, Requiem<\/em> acts as a logical evolution of the Resident Evil 4 Remake<\/em>\u2014it inherits its aggressive action but wraps it in a more modern technical shell and a more ambitious scale, which this fresh update now refines even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the developers worked on “overall playability,” which translates to minor optimization and smoothing out the game’s performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resident Evil Requiem<\/em> is breaking records on all fronts. Not only does it boast the highest user review scores on Metacritic in the series’ history, but the concurrent player counts on Steam also confirm that the hunger for high-quality horror is immense. Great news is that Capcom has already officially confirmed the production of DLC, though we don’t have any specific details about them yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game runs on the proven RE Engine, which excels here precisely because it doesn’t attempt a fully open world like Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2<\/em>, but instead bets on detailed environments. Nevertheless, there are points that divide the community:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
