Resident Evil Requiem: 10 Things You Should Know Before You Buy

Resident Evil Requiem features two protagonists, Grace Ashcroft and Leon S. Kennedy, with distinct gameplay styles. Grace's missions emphasize survival horror with stealth, evasion using items like glass bottles and a lighter, unarmed at first then gaining limited weapons, similar to Resident Evil 2 (2019) and Resident Evil 7. Leon's sections focus on action and combat, using firearms, a durable hatchet for melee, parrying, stealth takedowns, and item crafting with materials like scrap and gunpowder.[1][3][5]

Players can switch between first-person and third-person perspectives at any time, a new feature departing from recent Resident Evil games' fixed views. First-person is default for Grace's tense, stealth-focused survival horror, while third-person suits Leon's action-packed combat for better awareness.[1][4][5]
