Resident Evil Requiem may only be a few months old, but she&#8217;s already got a good idea of how she&#8217;d like to see Grace grow should she be asked to brave manmade horrors beyond comprehension yet again.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em><strong>Warning!

Kennedy, alive and Grace taking Emily under her wing. It painted a bright future for the crew, and although it almost certainly won&#8217;t last, it did give the developers at Capcom plenty of room to grow new and old characters alike.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Despite some pretty deep roots in Resident Evil lore, Grace&#8217;s story in the franchise is really only getting started in Resident Evil Requiem. So far, there&#8217;s been no word on whether she&#8217;ll stick around for additional entries and eventually stand toe-to-toe with other protagonists like Ethan Winters or Chris Redfield. Judging by the strong impression she made when her debut game launched in February, we wouldn&#8217;t be surprised to see her back at some point down the line.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Sant&#8217;Albano knows Grace could survive another run in with mutated monsters after making it through the horrors of the Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center, but will she ever be dodging chainsaws with carefully timed but stylish backflips? Not likely.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">The 10 Best Resident Evil Games<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"Resident Evil is a tough series to rank. The series is so prolific that you can find both genre-defining masterpieces and forgettable misfires sporting the Resident Evil name. Horrifying, challenging, and camp in equal measure, such a blend creates quirks that some may consider charming, while others find them simply painful. But make no mistake, the joy of working in volume is that there\u2019s a Resident Evil game for everyone. &#10;&lt;br&gt;&#10;&lt;br&gt;&#10;To create our list of top Resident Evil games, we considered several factors. There\u2019s the overall quality, of course, but also each game\u2019s enduring legacy. Some revolutionised the survival horror genre, while others introduced bold new ideas to the series. We also considered their impact on the wider video game landscape, as well as how easy they are to access and play today. &#10;&lt;br&gt;&#10;&lt;br&gt;&#10;So, prepare yourself for the ten terrors that await.
