Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Resident Evil Requiem?

I value other NL users' inputs and I would so for a game/thread like this. I understand you have to keep talking about a game during its peak hype but honestly I wish NL would wait like 2 weeks before running these polls, I mean the game was released 3 days ago, give (what i assume is most) people some time to actually sink into it

Requiem is a blast to play. It's a perfect blend of survival horror and action horror. Playing as Grace left me feeling tense and scared. Playing as Leon makes you feel like John Wick and ready to kill everything.

The game looks and runs well on Switch 2. Overall Capcom has done a great job with this port.

That was thr easiest 10 I‘ve ever given. The only other game would’ve been BotW. Even Elden Ring was not such an easy pick.

I‘m playing on Switch 2, and if Capcom will release an PSVR2 version, I happily double-dip!

I’m over halfway through RE9 and it’s easily a 10/10 so far. So many friends of mine are calling it their favorite one and so many influencers too.

5.5h in, it’s a 9/10 so far.

Exceptional level design that makes the rather linear castle Dimitrecu look so mid. It’s a big step above Village for the Grace sections.

Haven’t played much of Leon yet, but I think it’s way too hectic and RE6 like, I hope his gameplay slows down a little bit further away.

Audio, graphics (with RT and no film grain mod) look incredible on PC and can’t wait to get in on NS2 on a discount.

@CammyUnofficial TBF the game is about 8 hours long for a casual playthrough, 12 for a completionist playthrough and has an achievement for beating it in 4 hours or less.
I’d imagine a lot of people binged through this one over the weekend.

What length are these games?

I'm 2 hours in Requiem, but I can already rate it an easy 9. It's such a thrilling game!

9 out of 10 for me. I'm on my second play through and there's no part of the game where I was thinking "ugh, I can't be bothered to do this bit again".

10/10 best in series loved it from start to finish

9/10.

I think I am at the last stretch. The game is excellent.

I’m about halfway through it so far and I can easily say a 9 or a 10. It is the best one since the series was somewhat reinvented with 7, and that’s saying a lot. Just mashing the styles of first person and third person is such a stroke of brilliance. So many insane things happen in this game, I cannot put it down

@Lord about 6-8 hours each but they can all be beaten in 2-4 hours if you know what you’re doing as is tradition for RE.

I rated it Peak/10

@CammyUnofficial Yes, I am loving the game, but only 3 days since release is far too soon to provide a verdict. What I will say is, I’ve been playing for hours and I’ve only had control of Leon for like 5 minutes (no exaggeration). This Grace section in the care home is a loong section, so either I’m just being really slow and methodical or those reports of a 50/50 split between the two characters are way off. It’s been 95% Grace after maybe 5 solid hours, I’ve forgotten what Leon controls like 🤣

@darkswabber I can appreciate that. My comment is partly a veil over the jealousy I have of those who have had the chance to jump right in and maybe even completed it

@Picola-Wicola in Grace’s chapter the Leon segments are extremely short. Once you’re in Leon’s chapter the Grace segments get extremely short.

@darkswabber ah, that makes sense, thank you!

One thing worth noting about this game, which I haven’t seen raised much, is that the motion controls for aiming work horrendously in handheld! I can’t work out why? I’ve been playing mostly docked, and fine tuning headshots with motion controls is superb… then last night I continued in handheld and the motion is practically unusable. Like it doesn’t even move horizontally, anyone else noticed this?

After killing off one legacy character (not Alyssa), I can't take it seriously anymore.

I'm only 2hrs into Requiem, but I'd rate it a solid "HORRIFYING."

I haven't played an RE/Biohazard game in decades, and I worry I may not have the intestinal fortitude to get through this game! (@_@;;

@CammyUnofficial

I agree with this feedback and maybe an alternative solution since this article is already live is to do a follow up in two to three weeks to see how the scores shake out.

I’m personally at a 9/10 for Requiem right now but I don’t know if that will hold after I beat it and settle in my thoughts.

Biohazard (7) and Village (8) I have beaten years ago and my sentiments haven’t changed. Biohazard is a 9/10, but the replayability is low. I didn’t enjoy booting up a new play through compared to other games. Pacing is a bit too slow at the beginning.

I believe Village is an 8. I don’t like how quickly you swap areas but I enjoy how it’s a good mix of RE7 and RE4, and I love the mercenaries mode.

Requiem could drop to an 8 depending on the replayability. If a Merc mode comes out and/or some other DLC, I would consider increasing my rating. Too early to tell as you mentioned.

7 is a masterpiece game imo and runs extremely well on Switch 2. 8, while an extremely good horror experience, is a step down from 7 in fear and aesthetic and isn't as smoothly performing on Switch 2 as 7. 9 is, so far (I haven't completed the game yet), the scariest game in the series to date to me, and while it's got some pretty big frame rate drops in places, it's a surprisingly good version of the game.

Easy 10/10. The other REs are 9/10, so the Generations Pack is basically a must have gor any Switch 2 owners.

The lack of Ada Wong was really surprising for this game
