Resident Evil Requiem
Intense overall intensityWhat's in it
The player shoots and strikes zombies and mutated creatures with realistic blood and gore, and bodies remain in the environment after death.
Fear is the core of the game: the player is stalked by an invulnerable monster that must be evaded rather than fought, with sustained dread, pursuit and jump-scare moments throughout the survival sections.
Decayed, mutated and disfigured bodies appear as enemy and environment design beyond ordinary combat damage.
The story is driven by a string of deaths among Raccoon City survivors, including the death of the protagonist's mother, and named characters die on screen.
Characters use moderate profanity in dialogue during tense and violent scenes.
Bioterrorism and killings are carried out by the story's antagonists; the player characters are federal investigators and do not commit crimes.

What it is
Resident Evil Requiem puts one player through a survival-focused horror story with two protagonists: Grace Ashcroft, an analyst working for the FBI, and Leon Kennedy, a long-running agent from earlier entries in the series. Set 28 years after Raccoon City was destroyed, the pair look into fatalities connected to the release of a biological weapon. Chapters starring Grace unfold at a deliberate, anxious pace — she stays out of sight, moves quietly, and rations limited supplies while a creature that cannot be harmed stalks her through each area. Leon's sections centre on fighting instead: he turns guns and close-quarters finishing moves on the undead and on people warped by mutation, depicted with lifelike blood and graphic injury. The narrative touches on killing, the death of a parent, and people transformed into monsters by infection, and scares come often — disturbing visuals, being chased, and sudden jolts. There is no online play, no chat feature, and nothing purchasable with real currency.
How it's framed
Combat is positioned as self-protection and staying alive rather than aggression: every enemy is a former person rendered monstrous by infection, and the two leads act as investigators working to end the outbreak, not as attackers. The graphic bodily horror exists in the story to generate dread and unease, not to be glorified, and deaths caused by the villains are treated as tragic events the plot sets out to explain and answer for. Because supplies run short, long stretches of the game steer the player toward slipping past threats instead of engaging them.
