Flappy Bird Is Coming Back
12. Resident Evil Revelations
Revelations is the worst Resident Evil game. It tries to imitate the success of the first installments but fails, and frankly it's way too short. | © Capcom
11. Resident Evil Revelations 2
Like its predecessor, Revelations 2 is a bad title that commits the same sins as the first, but with one terrible addition: to finish the story, you need to buy multiple DLCs. | © Capcom
10. Resident Evil 6
Even though Resident Evil 6 is fun with friends, the game is terrible as a single-player adventure. Upgrading your character is too complicated, your partner's AI works badly, and it doesn't have a pause menu. | © Capcom
9. Resident Evil 5
Resident Evil 5 was the first game to introduce a cooperative element, allowing players to share weapons with their partners and survive under the scorching sun together. Despite that, it struggles with clunky controls and ridiculous plots. | © Capcom
8. Resident Evil 0
Resident Evil 0 provides a rich backstory to the events of the first title in the franchise. While some fans may feel nostalgic, others view the game as an unnecessary cash grab. | © Capcom
7. Resident Evil 7
Resident Evil 7 was released when the franchise was at a low point, and it brought a soft reboot with its creepy atmosphere from early installments. The story is still mediocre, but it's way more enjoyable compared to previous games. | © Capcom
6. Resident Evil Village
Resident Evil Village is not bad, but it's bland, so gets a well-deserved mid-spot on our list. The visual aesthetics align well with the horror vibe, but the title isn't innovative and relies on the success of RE7. | © Capcom
5. Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 2 has to be one of the best sequels ever. It significantly expands the plot of the first entry and introduces us to a new beloved protagonist, Leon. It also has a remake that does an excellent job of recreating the original magic. | © Capcom
4. Resident Evil: Code Veronica
Code Veronica may be one of the most controversial games in the franchise, mainly because of its length and difficulty. But this installment maintains the gothic atmosphere of a haunted mansion, and it deserves more popularity. | © Capcom
3. Resident Evil 3
Resident Evil 3 brings back the beloved character Jill Valentine and introduces Nemesis, an unstoppable force that depletes ammunition and forces players to find alternative routes. | © Capcom
2. Resident Evil
Resident Evil has a special kind of magic. The story of Lisa Trevor is one of the most terrifying in the entire horror genre. And, we have to respect the OG. | © Capcom
1. Resident Evil 4
Resident Evil 4 marks the shift in the franchise from static camera angles to a more serious experience (but they kept those fantastic dialogue lines straight from an 80s action movie). It works perfectly as a horror game, both very fun and very terrifying.| © Capcom
