What’s Your Favorite Resident Evil And Which One Do You Think Is The Best?

Resident Evil is a classic video game franchise that’s been around for decades. And for good reason, too – whether you prefer the more hardened survival horror seen in the first few Resident Evil games (and the recent ones) or the more over-the-top action camp seen in later entries, the series has you covered. That’s probably what makes it such a beloved series: there’s a little something for everyone in it. 

It’s possible you might wonder what makes us think about Resident Evil today. Resident Evil 2 launched on PlayStation 1 24 years ago. It was available for purchase from January 21, 1998. That’s right, the original Resident Evil 2 has been around for 24 years! Only one year away from being able to rent a vehicle!

This anniversary got us thinking, though: what’s your favorite Resident Evil game, and which Resident Evil do you think is the best? Resident Evil 2 Remake is my favourite. It’s timeless, the remake is one of the best remakes in recent memory, and the Raccoon City Police Department is still just as terrifying as it was 24 years ago. Also, Mr. X’s wild entrance and subsequent chase never cease to be thrilling. 

Resident Evil VII Biohazard is a game I love, so let me show it some love. Even with its shortcomings, I still love the game. For me, some of the scariest types of horror out there often involve cannibalistic families and the like (think The wrong turnThese and other similar series. Unnerving is the idea of a large family working together in order to “eat” you. My family includes half my Louisiana-born relatives, making the Biohazard swamp a terrifying and unique experience for me. It is not possible to find swampy or water-sunk homes when I visit my family. 

What is the greatest Resident Evil? It’s still probably Resident Evil 4, but dangit, Resident Evil 2 Remake makes a strong case for that title. The rumored Resident Evil 4 remake will reclaim that title. This is especially true considering the excellent VR version of Resident Evil 4.
