What is each game in this selection really worth?
Among the games most praised by critics, Resident Evil 4in its original version or its 2023 remake, remains a safe bet thanks to its perfect rhythm and its balanced action/horror mix. Resident Evil 2 Remake still impresses with its heavy atmosphere and the omnipresent threat of Mr.
In contrast, Resident Evil 6 And Operation Raccoon City are widely considered to be the series’ weak links. The first, too action-oriented, suffered from a vague identity, while the second never managed to convince fans with its muddled multiplayer gameplay.
Resident Evil Revelations 2although appreciated for its mechanics close to RE4, has never benefited from the same enthusiasm, in particular because of its episodic format and its limited budget. As for the oldest like RE0 Or Code: Veronicathey show their age despite their importance in the chronology of the saga.
Finally, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard marked a turning point: its passage to the first person and its heavy atmosphere put fear at the heart of the experience. Village continues this dynamic while injecting a touch of more muscular action.
