Resident Evil Requiem's meat-processing level is disturbingly effective

Any dream of living my Sweeney Todd fantasy died with Resident Evil Requiem. There's something disturbingly romantic about a pie shop owner playing house with a bloodthirsty killer, but watching Grace navigate a literal human meat plant has made me see my favorite musical in a squeamish new light.

The disposal facility beneath Rhodes Hill Chronic Care is the scariest part of the already terrifying new game. I made my way through barely-lit passages, rushing from pillar to post with electrical plugs in hand while trying to skirt the hungry jaws of the undead.

That tension was enough, but nothing prepared me for the all-out SAW trap that followed. I turned on a machine not unlike something from a slaughterhouse; animals dangled upside-down by their hind legs, and in Resident Evil Requiem the only meat on the menu is long pig.
