My favorite Resident Evil game of the franchise. The ultimate sequel, where just about everything was better! The visuals, the animations, the story, the mechanics, everything was so refined and it made for an unforgettable experience back when I was a kid! And it's still so great to go back to every once in a while! The centerpiece story of the Birkin family is one that always stuck with me since I was a kid, and I still love witnessing it now.

I also can't harp enough how fantastic its introduction is. No tutorial, no explanation of how it controls (unless you read the instruction manual). This game throws you in the deep end while shouting "good luck!" as multiple zombies on fire are walking towards you the second you're given control. A terrifying start. What a bunch of dirty, rotten geniuses!
