The episodic game stuck to the third-person perspective of its predecessor but amped up the B-movie cheese, even bringing back the goofball Barry Burton as a playable character alongside Claire Redfield.
Action-packed but still rooted in survival horror and classic camp cinema, Resident Evil: Revelations 2 may not push the genre forward or attempt to reinvent the series, but it does understand what made it so beloved in the first place.
You just cannot beat those Barry one-liners. See our Resident Evil: Revelations 2 episode reviews. A prequel to the series set before the events of Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2, the appropriately named Resident Evil 0 originally launched as a GameCube exclusive before becoming more widely available later on.
It's a different sort of horror experience than most of the other games--save perhaps the original--because the zombie threat is not yet widely spread or even public. Alongside officer Rebecca Chambers, you also have the chance to play as a unique character in a video game--a death row inmate--while unraveling the dark mystery.

A controversial game, for sure, and one that certainly hinted at the identity crisis we'd see on display more overtly in the future, Resident Evil 5 ditches nearly all the horror for straight-up action. It's extremely different from the other games up to that point--including Resident Evil with brighter environments, a whole bunch of firepower at Chris' disposal, massive set-pieces, and an upgraded Albert Wesker who is essentially Agent Smith from The Matrix.
Is it scary? Does it scratch the same itch as the other games? Does it succeed in delivering an action thrill ride that offers some satisfying closure for one of the series' longest-running plot threads?
Most definitely. See our Resident Evil 5 review. Could one of the best Resident Evil games of all time be a 3DS exclusive? Well, yes, at least for a short time. Resident Evil: Revelations served as a reconciliation of the action-oriented gameplay of the previous two games and the slow, tense-filled horror of the originals.
Set largely on a cruise ship filled with infected creatures who want to tear Jill Valentine limb from limb, the game worked quite well on the 3DS, especially with the Circle Pad Pro accessory for dual-stick combat, and it served as a great side-story to help fill in what Jill had been up to between Resident Evil 4 and 5. Revised character models for Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield still look great for their age, and the story is what starts the delving into Umbrella's antics and history.
The color pallet is really dower much like with Zero , meaning it imbues a creepy vibe all the way through the game which is truly memorable. You should start with this game if you have never ventured into the series before, and then play them in order - but we feel that this list represents the quality pretty well. At the time of writing this, Resident Evil Village has not long since been released, so we feel that it needs time to settle with the community before integrating it into the list fully.
So far it has had a very positive response, and is a great game so we are sure that it will at least make Resident Evil 6 disappear from its spot if nothing else!
As we have stated, after a certain point it becomes a lot more difficult to rank the games as they all have fantastic qualities and elements that make them re-playable and iconic, so this was no easy task!

While the animated and live-action movies are quite popular, the games have also spawned a whole range of comic books and novels.
When it comes to the Resident Evil comics, the first comic was published by Marvel as a prequel to the original game and released as promotional material for the PlayStation version. Since then, publication houses like Image and Wildstorm have added to the game's mythos along with manhua adaptations in Hong Kong by multiple publishers.
The first five games as well as three of Paul WS Anderson's Resident Evil movies have also been adapted as official novelizations. The franchise's creator Shinji Mikami has cited classic horror movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Dawn of the Dead as inspirations for creating the tense atmosphere and zombie-induced terror in the first game.
Among the movies that inspired Resident Evil , Sweet Home also deserves a special mention. The low-budget Japanese cult classic is set in a haunted mansion and a fictional film crew's misadventures in this paranormal location.
The movie's video game adaptation is equally iconic and was released in the same year, yet again inspiring the first Resident Evil game. One of the four lords from Resident Evil Village , Karl Heisenberg is responsible for creating the cybernetic undead creatures known as the Soldats.
Even though the makers have never confirmed if Van Helsing was an inspiration for the character design, fans of the game do feel that he gives off a vibe similar to that of the famous vampire-hunter from Bram Stoker's horror novel Dracula.
Most of the character's interpretations bear a similar tattered hat and pair of sunglasses as Heisenberg. As Nibon said in the Residence of Evil podcast , Nicolas Cage was indeed one of the actors that went on to define Heisenberg's character.
