A lot of games in this series shift from the action side which I love to total survival horror which I also love so mashing them all into a definitive list is so damn hard.
This and RE1 Remake are so close. I could swap them and still be happy with the list.

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
I adored a lot of parts of this game, but man that shift from no ammo to having a whole armies arsenal at your disposal threw any tension away from me. And that use of scarcity is exactly why I hold other games in the franchise so high.

I can appreciate what this one tried to do. But for me personally. The tiresome backtracking and lack of item boxes drove me completely crazy!
