Resident Evil Requiem2026

Resident Evil Requiem combines survival horror with action, offering the best of both worlds. Switching from Grace’s horrifying segments to Leon’s action-based gameplay was a welcome change and one of the game’s greatest strengths. The game’s default settings, with Grace being played in first person and Leon in third person, fit their respective gameplay styles perfectly. Although horror is not my preferred genre, I still enjoyed Grace’s parts, but I was definitely all in for Leon’s gameplay. From the insanely satisfying movement and the variety of environment-specific finishers to realistic animations, such as tucking the flashlight between his chin and shoulder while reloading weapons, it was an amazing experience. Playing as this version of Leon somehow felt even better than the already incredible gameplay in RE4R. The boss fights were pretty fun, thanks to the ability to parry. Definitely one of the best games of 2026, and Capcom would 100% deserve to win Game of the Year for this.
