Hello one and all, and welcome back to another episode of Surviving the Horror!

In this episode Colin, Josh, and Gary gather around the proverbial hearth to discuss one of the biggest horror releases of the year, Resident Evil Requiem. As long time fans of the Resident Evil franchise, we've all been looking forward to this game for quite some time. The prospect of returning legacy characters, deep pulls from forgotten lore, and exciting new revelations in the timeline had us all chomping at the bit to get our hands on this game. But did it live up to the hype? Selling 5 million units in it's first days on the market, and with a 9.4 user score on Metacritic, Requiem certainly seemed to be catching the world by storm. After several playthroughs, and three earned platinum trophies, Colin, Josh, and Gary give their thoughts on what aspects of the game worked well, if the story elements and characters were believable, and importantly if Capcom successfully balanced third person action gameplay alongside first person survival horror.

This is a meaty episode with lots to say about a franchise that is near and dear to our hearts. We hope that you enjoy this review of Capcom's ninth mainline installment in the Resident Evil franchise.
