Resident Evil Requiem, the 9th game in this storied franchise, combines the survival horror gameplay with Grace Ashcroft, and the action oriented gameplay of Leon into one package that is being considered by fans and critics alike as one of the most impressive games in the series. Unsurprisingly, the game has gone on to cross major sales milestones, and is emerging as a strong contender for Game of the Year.
We at TheGamesWatch have been fans of the series, and just when we had finished another round of Leon suplexing baddies in the Resident Evil 4 Remake, that we were handed this gem by CAPCOM, which, incidentally, has been having a remarkable year.
In this guides hub, we look to help you out with gameplay mechanics, puzzles, easter eggs, weapons and other parts of the game where you are most likely to get stuck.
