About Judy

As WP's managing editor, I edit review and preview articles, attempt to keep up with the frantic pace of Rainier's news posts, and keep our reviewers on deadline, which is akin to herding cats. When I have a moment to myself and don't have my nose in a book, I like to play action/RPG, adventure and platforming games.

11. 'Resident Evil: Requiem' (Switch2, PS5, XSX, PC)

Resident Evil Requiem is ninth title in the mainline Resident Evil series. Prepare to escape death in a heart-stopping experience that will chill you to your core.

Redmond Carolipio: Ooh, now we're getting dueling play styles. Resident Evil releases are also becoming singular events (I'm still buzzing over the remake of RE4), but I'm looking forward to seeing the character work between the FBI analyst Grace (survival horror) and our guy Leon (action). This feels like it'll be a pretty flexible blend of gameplay stuff from previous installments. Let's see how this works.

Chris "Atom" DeAngelus: Resident Evil has been on a roll lately, with excellent game after excellent game. It's understandable that there's a lot of excitement for Capcom's latest entry. Returning to the bombed-out ruins of Racoon City, Requiem follows two protagonists. The first, Grace Ashcroft, is a newcomer who will be dealing with terrifying stalking enemies and more traditional horror. The other is longtime series favorite Leon S. Kennedy, who appears to be augmenting his love of spin kicks and high-paced action with the ability to use a chainsaw. What more could you ask for?

Rainier Van Autrijve: Resident Evil is a franchise that gets people excited with every installment. Its mix of survival, horror, first- and third-person action/adventure has been a winning formula for decades. While Requiem introduces an all-new protagonist, FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft, it was recently announced that Leon S. Kennedy will return to the series with an intertwining storyline. Two for the price of one? I'm in! Returning to Raccoon City, Resident Evil: Requiem focuses more on intensity and emotions like the earlier titles, and less on action like RE: Village, which is a good change of pace.
