What are the worst Resident Evil games?

Capcom has announced and released the original Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 on Steam.

With the ninth mainline installment looming, it feels like the right moment to rank every mainline Resident Evil game from worst to best.
At first I was like, No Code Veronica on the list!? But then I seen Mainline. The list checks out, but I would personally put 2 over 4.
The original RE was the best. Its not on the list which makes no sense.
The remake of it was alright but should be higher on this list.
i’m fine with people calling it “mainline,” but leaving out the original re1 entirely is wild, since it basically defines the whole series. i’d still put re2 over re4 for pure pacing and atmosphere, even though re4 is the more replayable game. also, the “mainline” label gets messy with code veronica since it feels more essential than some numbered entries. i swear half the time i’m reading these rankings i get derailed by random gambling tabs i opened earlier, including https://monopolybigballerli... and https://football-studio-dic... and https://red-baron.org/ which is a weird contrast to talking about survival horror.

Capcom has launched a new website to celebrate the 30th anniversary of its long-running survival horror series, Resident Evil.
I can't really agree with RE5 being there. I loved its crazy story and the Wesker/Chris dynamic. Plus, the Lost In Nightmares DLC was GREAT and had that nice static camera easter egg.
Sure, it had a lot of boulder-punching and volcano battle nonsense, but that's what happens when people throw money at the those garbage live-action RE movies. Starting with RE4, Capcom kept doubling-down on the dumb "Hollywood blockbuster" angle until things came to a head with RE6.
Outbreak is garbage.
