The article reviews Resident Evil Requiem, a survival horror game that has been part of the franchise's legacy since 1996, as the highest user-rated entry in the franchise. Despite being described as a semi-colon that demonstrates how the franchise is constantly evolving along with the genre itself, the game is said to be enthralled by its dual perspectives and its ability to capture the fear of the unknown. The game's combat is notable, with combat being praised for its modern twist and integration of flavors of classic Resident Evil into Requiem's DNA. Despite the shift from stationary shooting to on-rails mayhem, Requiem elevates the sharpness of Resident Evil 2 remake's over-the-shoulder stylings and brings it into harmony with its classical aspects. Despite this, modern action mechanics are celebrated alongside them to deliver a refined experience that brings all of Capcom's biggest developments into focus. The article also notes that Requiem leaves a potential future for the franchise, with a potential Resident Evil 10 or Resident Evil X, which would signal the beginning of the fourth decade of the series.
