"Resident Evil has a long and sometimes proud history. I think it's fair to say that the first couple of Resident Evil games were genre defining, which makes it all the more tragic to contemplate the state in which the series currently exists."

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.
So, RE0 laid the foundation for co-op in the later RE games. I see.
RE 4 did it for me I still can't get pass that 1st section
Easy where it went wrong. From RE4 onwards it became an action shooter instead of a survival horror game with puzzles and high tension.
Sounds like a reboot is in order. But keep nemesis around.
I love the original RE formula but in my opinion the action element was bound to happen sooner or later to complete the story.
all those pharmaceutical experiments with the different viruses were not going to remain hidden from the world forever and with all the wrong people behind an outbreak was imminent, hence the chaotic consequences.
