Resident Evil: Requiem
9149 critic reviews·Feb 26, 2026·CapcomPCPS5Xbox X|SSwitch 2“Resident Evil Requiem sets itself out with a hard task: wrapping all the best elements of previous Resident Evil games into one. Miraculously it succeeds, with very few moments which left me wanting more.”

Resident Evil 5 Remastered

Resident Evil 3
7933 critic reviews·Apr 2, 2020·CapcomPCPS4Xbox OnePS5 +2“Resident Evil 3 turns the action up but diminishes the Nemesis and loses some of its luster in the process but still delivers a solid remake that will likely divide fans of the franchise.”

Resident Evil Resistance
6713 critic reviews·Apr 2, 2020·CapcomPCPS4Xbox One“Releasing alongside the great but slightly flawed remake of Resident Evil 3, Resident Evil Resistance is a new “4 vs 1” asymmetrical multiplayer game heavily infuenced by the likes of Friday the 13th and Dead By…”

Resident Evil 6
6315 critic reviews·Oct 1, 2012·CapcomPCPS3Xbox 360“Resident Evil 6 polarizes you between beauty and boredom. Capcom has strayed too far from survival horror, in turn has alienated some long time fans of the series.”
