About this episode
The episode reviews Resident Evil Requiem, exploring its blend of survival horror and action elements.
Capcom has finally had their peanut butter/chocolate moment and mixed white-knuckle survival horror with no-holds barred action horror. The latest entry in their long running horror franchise sees the return of Leon "Dad Jokes" Kennedy alongside Grace, a new protagonist, who holds a sought after secret (while struggling to hold it together). Requiem is a celebration of the franchise's 30 year history, but does it nail its split genre balancing act? Enter the world of survival horror podcasting to find out.
