Resident Evil 9: Requiem | PS5 XBOX PC | Feb 27th 2026

Finally beat the game, took 12 hours, used a guide for the mansion and cheated for the safe codes. I was this close to dropping this, because the Grace mansion part was a maze to navigate, and I got tired of ducking zombies.

Thankfully I didn’t drop this, because the game really opens up after the mansion part, and this was a defining title of this generation. Great graphics; great set pieces, great optimization, this was the most “next gen” feeling game I’ve played since beating cyberpunk in 2024.

My favorite fight was the hatchet fight against the squad commander

 

[Hostile]

I preferred the Grace parts

Ngl this game makes me wish I played the earlier installments first. The call backs would mean more.

Reminds me of when you play MGS4 and you go back to shadow Moses as old snake.

Never played a Resident Evil game before, but folks are speaking very highly of this. Gonna have to check it out.

RE1, 2, 3, Code Veronica and 0 are classic RE games that are definitely worth playing.

Solid 8/10

Felt like a greatest hits collection

Didn’t really move the story forward that much

Leon sections were fun and fan servicy

After 2 and 4 remake I think I’ve had my fill on this formula. This open Leon sections were kind of a slog

Yeah, I mentioned before this game has quite a few parallels to Metal Gear Solid 4. I enjoyed it a lot.
As great as this game is though, I think in the grand scheme of the series, as far as story goes, it feels skippable in a way.
They really didn't move the story forward, and a lot of themes felt like it was building up to be the end of the series (which it obviously isn't going to be).
It almost feels like a game made to remind you that Resident Evil still exists while they work on the next game with a much more meaningful story.

One of the reasons I'm finally working through my RE Backlog because I stopped at 5.​
