The critics for Capcom's latest survival horror entry in the long-running Resident Evil franchise, Resident Evil Requiem is out.
Resident Evil Requiem's review embargo is finally lifted, and with that, we finally have the fresh wave of reviews rolling out.
The game's current Metascore sits at 88, at the time of writing, with a positive trend, implying it will cross the 90 mark.
Here's a look at the review score and roundup for some notable outlets:
IGN
Score: 9/10
Like the result of an experiment conducted in an underground Umbrella Corporation lab, Resident Evil Requiem successfully splices two separate strains of survival horror together into the one highly infectious new mutation.
GameSpot
Score: 8/10
With Requiem, Capcom refines its Resident Evil formula to its best parts, but it sometimes relies too much on past triumphs.
Eurogamer
Score: 5/5
Capcom 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.
GamesRadar+
Score: 4.5/100
A soaring piece of survival horror theater that balances intense action with absolute terror across two heroes, and I can't pick a favorite.
Screenrant
Score: 90/10
Capcom has thrills down to a science at this point, and Resident Evil Requiem delivers.
PlayStation LifeStyle
Score: 90/10
Detractors might cry foul that Capcom has forced two wildly different experiences into one package, but I prefer to think of it as two sides of the same coin. It’s an endless buffet of nail-biting, pulse-pounding action, and, I would argue, survival horror at its finest.
GameInformer
Score: 98/100
Requiem is Resident Evil at its finest…It is fantastic, a revelatory mix of terrifying survival-horror and action.
GamingBible
Score: 100/100
As a horror game in its own right, Resident Evil Requiem is a very solid nine out of 10, but as a passionate fan of the series, it earns an additional bonus point thanks to the attention to detail and craft that’s gone into every pore of this game.
ComicBook
Score: 100/100
Rather than trying to do something entirely new, the ninth mainline installment in the saga, Resident Evil Requiem, finds a way to perfectly mesh all of the best aspects of the series so far. The result doesn't just make Requiem one of the greatest Resident Evil games yet, but it stands as a perfect celebration of the franchise for its 30th anniversary.
