Resident Evil has been a lot of things over the last thirty years, with “being scary” very much a core tenet of the series. Grace Turns Resident Evil Into A Pure Horror Game AgainPlaying Resident Evil Requiem, it’s striking just how much tension and terror the title is able to elicit out of Grace’s storyline — especially in light of how the franchise is also still an action-packed riff on the horror genre. This gives her a clear and immediate thematic connection to Ethan Winters, the relatively average-seeming man who headlines Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil Village. It all makes Resident Evil genuinely feel like a true horror game again. Resident Evil Requiem seems to have learned from Village and has better balanced the action with the horror.
