Despite the length, there are plenty of high points spread across the game, where neither the beginning, middle, or end feels weak. While I would say it could have benefited from being perhaps a few hours shorter, it offers plenty of content for the price. Resident Evil 4 is a long game, by far the longest in the series. I’m looking forward to seeing how the next game continues and expands upon the changes, introduced here. It remains one of the most terror inducing moments in the franchise. Plus, I will never get the unsettling encounters with Marguerite Baker out of my memory. While I generally prefer third-person games, first-person was perfect fit for the tone and nature of the game. The Baker family are brilliant antagonists while the moulded took the place of the traditional zombie foes. However, those fears were put to rest, as it offered the franchise a breath of fresh air and more up close and personal, horror experience. The move to first-person was a bold decision by Capcom and could have been a huge mistake. In the eyes of many, Resident Evil 7 brought the series back to form and I would be inclined to agree with them. It was quite hard to decide which ones I found better, as they all aim for something different in their gameplay, whilst excelling at it. We’re now onto the truly great Resident Evil games. I completely understand why a lot of fans don’t like the game, that it strays too far from the original gameplay, but I personally had a lot of fun with it and provided plenty of content to enjoy. Each felt a bit a different from one another, where Leon’s campaign was the most like survival horror. Also, the game featured 4 different campaigns that offered a lot of content and replay value. Furthermore, it continued the co-op features introduced in 5, while streamlining them, much like the gameplay. It may have traded in the survival horror for more arcade/action focused gameplay, but it was an experience that ended up being more consistent and distinguished from the previous entries. While many people bash 6 as being the worst in the series, I found it a pretty fun experience. I’m just glad I picked up the game on sale, as it’s definitely not worth the full price. On the plus side, Jill and Carlos are pretty good characters and new features like the dodge function are very helpful. The boss encounters are a bit better, but 2 of them are almost identical. There are also a couple of very short, scripted chase sequences. He will follow you around un-scripted for a roughly 10-15 minute section, which is also pretty linear. It’s just such a small game with little variety. Every other game on average took me around 8 hours or more to beat, some much longer. Going around and exploring every part, backtracking to collect everything, I was able to beat the game in 3hrs and 40mins. First, the game is very short, easily the shortest game by far. While the gameplay is very similar to the 2 Remake, it also feels like a lesser game in many aspects. There, I said it! In many ways, it has the same issues as 5 coming from 4. I think Resident Evil 3 Remake is a worse game than 6. Here’s where the ‘controversial’ opinions begin. Having said that, who could ever wipe from their memory, the image of Chris Redfield punching a boulder inside an active volcano? While I still found a level of enjoyment and found that the multiplayer features, both online and offline, offered some new strategic considerations, the overall experience was lacklustre and unmemorable. The story was bland and forgettable, it lacked any atmosphere and didn’t have a single truly scary moment. It’s clear that it was trying to essentially be a multiplayer version of 4, but missed the mark at nearly every turn. Being a follow up to a an entry widely considered to be one of, if not the best in the series, it was inevitably going to pale in comparison. There might be some unpopular opinions, but I hope you enjoy the post.įor me, Resident Evil 5 easily sits at the bottom of my list, being the worst in the series. After playing through all the numbered entries, I thought it would be a good idea to provide my own personal ranking. One legendary video game series I always wanted to play for myself, was Resident Evil. It wasn’t until I played and finished Alien Isolation, that I was able to actually enjoy the horror and work up the courage to play others in the genre. I could barely play them for 5 minutes, before the slightest whisper of something sinister made me quit the game and watch something delightful, like My Neighbour Totoro. If you’re someone that knows me, then you’ll know that I used to be an utter wimp when it came to playing horror games.
