Resident Evil, Ranked

Mainline games and their remakes only, for now.

Resident Evil 4

Absolutely no contest.

1

Resident Evil
One of the only remakes I can think of that comprehensively improves upon the original without losing its spirit.

2

Resident Evil

Still perfectly playable and gripping. It was a big deal for a reason.

Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 2
Another remake that, in my opinion, at least, eclipses the original. But this one's close to a toss-up because it's so purposefully different.

4

Resident Evil 2

A cool expansion of the original idea, but a little something was lost in growing the scope.

5

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
A shockingly good reboot. I honestly didn't think they had it in them.

6

Resident Evil Code: Veronica
Resident Evil Code: Veronica
Still good, but getting a little too wacky.

7

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
A slightly disappointing, action-focused follow-up that has always seemed kind of superfluous to me.

8

Resident Evil 5
Resident Evil 5
A shaky-at-best attempt to graft co-op and series lore onto the runaway success that was RE4.

9

Resident Evil Village
Resident Evil Village
The RE5 to RE7's RE4, the RE3 to RE7's RE2.

10

Resident Evil: Revelations
Resident Evil: Revelations
Passable, but that's about it.

11

Resident Evil 3
Resident Evil 3
Hugely disappointing. It could have been RE3's time to step out from 2's shadow, but they punted.

12

Resident Evil Zero
Resident Evil Zero
A chore.

13

Resident Evil 6

My current pick for worst game ever made -- not kidding! A historic disaster.
