Resident Evil Requiem: A Shift in Tone
Originally envisioned as a tense, stealth-oriented horror, Resident Evil Requiem underwent significant changes to avoid a timid portrayal of Leon. Capcom's decision to blend various intensities from the franchise results in a game that feels both familiar and fresh. The shift allows for dynamic gameplay, balancing horror with action in a way that appeals to a broader audience. However, this approach may alienate purists who cherish the series' roots. - The character development feels rushed, lacking depth in Leon's transformation. - While the visuals are stunning, the gameplay can sometimes feel disjointed. Overall, Requiem is an ambitious experiment, but it struggles to find its identity amidst the chaos. For more details, check out PC Gamer's article.
