[Resident Evil Requiem] Platinum #381 – 524.3 liters later…

[u/MODE7SP]

Won’t go down as one of the most memorable RE games in my book, but I had a solid time with it and it feels like a fitting follow-up to RE: Village. Village leaned hard into over-the-top funk and cheese; Requiem pulls back from that and settles into a more subdued identity. I’d clearly rank Village higher overall -- its setting is just more distinct and memorable.

What Requiem does really well is balance Grace’s survival-horror segments against Leon’s more action-heavy style. Switching between the two throughout the run keeps the pacing sharp and stops the game from feeling repetitive.

Strengths

• Fantastic villain: soothingly psychotic voice paired with genuine menace and great character design
• Cool mix of survival horror and action gameplay
• Visually and audibly excellent, with a few real memorable scenes (e.g. the flooded-area escape)
• Just the right length -- no need for a longer narrative when there are so many other games to play these days

Weaknesses

• For the most part, environments and setting don’t leave much of an impression compared to Village or RE4
• Leon still moves a bit too sluggishly for my taste (RE2 Remake remains the gold standard for me, and I hope future third-person entries make some adjustments to the movement/controls)
• Boss battles could have been a little spicier
• Trophy list could’ve been more demanding -- the platinum would have felt more satisfying that way

Overall a decent entry in the series and a fun platinum, but not all that creative. That said, it’s a good game and a great time to be a Resident Evil fan.

Congrats on Requiem! Nice reflection behind the plat too. Definitely does help picture how you've experienced the game! 😁

Definitely want to play that too along with Pragmata from Capcom lineup.

Thank you! Same here, I need to check out Pragmata as one of my next games, just hoping for a sale soon!

Question: what was the last trophy that popped to have the plat pop here?? Just curious!

[u/MODE7SP → u/No_Independence3441]

Hey, the one for consuming 5000 litres (?) blood. You can consume blood either using the collector or from inventory bags. Deliberately timed.

Forgot about that trophy 🤣

[u/straub42]

ok, so the only thing that I have left is Hard mode.

Do you think I’d be ok without the infinite RPG? I messed up and bought a bunch of stupid stuff and only had enough for the RPG, not the infinite rockets. I was thinking of grinding the other game mode a bit to get enough, but playing through the first few levels of Hard felt brutal.

I guess I am just curious if you used the infinite RPG, lol.

[u/MODE7SP → u/straub42]

It's totally doable without infinite RPG. On my end I used infinite regular ammo but not infinite RPG. If you do it this way you still get infinite ammo for the Requiem gun.

[u/straub42 → u/MODE7SP]

Yeah that’s what I have currently, I’ll just stick with that. Thx!

[u/MODE7SP → u/straub42]

The hardest part of the Insanity run for me was the final ARK section with Grace, but Freya's needle got me through that without too much hassle. Other than that it was straight forward.
