Resident Evil Requiem’s Star Wars-Level Pandering Drags the Whole Game Down
Resident Evil Requiem is criticized for its excessive reliance on nostalgia and callbacks to previous games, which detracts from new elements like the character Grace Ashcroft. The game's frequent references to past characters and events, such as Leon S. Kennedy, Albert Wesker, and Mr. X, are seen as pandering and a lack of confidence in original storytelling, drawing parallels to perceived missteps in recent Star Wars media.
