In February 2026 (prior to Game Interceptor’s hostile takeover, which led to Billi Binks deleting GI records during a scheduled server migration), Game Interceptor rated Resident Evil Requiem 10/10, giving it unanimous praise from our staff, and declaring it Game of the Year for extraordinary achievement.
But does it still hold up today, in August 2026?
We had our entire reviews department replay the game to answer that question, and we are bringing you, here, today, Game Interceptor Peer Reviews: Resident Evil Requiem.
Wendi Stuppel, Graphics Correspondent for Game Interceptor, told our staff “The graphics hold up. They are just like I remember them.”
Chet Daniels, Game Interceptor Sound Liaison, said “Resident Evil Requiem’s sound is outdated. Innovation in sound design pioneered in the horror genre by works like Obsession has shown that love can sound scarier than zombies . . . Zombies biting, gurgling, and slurping can never match the sheer terror of hearing the words “I love you” whispered into your ears by actress Inde Navarette.
Gameplay Scholar Eric Thompson explained that recent advancements in technology such as MSI’s Foot Controller—the lack of native support for this technology in RE9—may leave the player of today frustrated by a lack of precision in controls, but if they adapt and get used to the controls, then experiencing Resident Evil Requiem is still a worthwhile delve into the archives of video game history. Just like Resident Evil’s earlier TANK controls, players will need patience to adapt to the ways of yesteryear — the old ways.
