Resident Evil Requiem’s Final Choice: A Frustrating Echo of RE7’s Ultimatum

The most disappointing aspect of Resident Evil Requiem is undoubtedly its final choice, a decision point that feels like an irritating and uninspired rehash of the difficult ultimatum presented in Resident Evil 7.

In the enveloping darkness, Grace cautiously raises a flickering lighter, symbolizing perhaps a dim hope in a game that struggles to find its own unique light at its climax.
