Resident Evil Requiem offers a "greatest hits" approach to the franchise, blending survival horror elements with action-packed gameplay. The game shifts between new protagonist Grace Ashcroft's tense, first-person horror segments and series mainstay Leon S. Kennedy's over-the-shoulder action, drawing heavily from Resident Evil 4 and 7. Despite some feeling that certain sections are glimpses of a larger game, Resident Evil Requiem is considered an excellent culmination of Capcom's 30 years in the franchise.
