Resident Evil Requiem is a potent mash-up of the series’ best ideas

I have a conflicted history with Resident Evil. I love the first game and, like many people, I consider Resident Evil 2 one of the best in the series. Unlike most, I adore 3 and Zero – I’d even love for a Zero remake to be next – and I have a strong dislike for 4. Sorry, Leon. Resident Evil 4 signalled a significant change in the series, a pivot from horror to action. RPD was no more, and, with the location change, so too went the zombies, Umbrella, the T-virus, and all the things that drew me to the games in the first place.
