Ranking EVERY Mainline Resident Evil Game From WORST TO BEST (Top 15 Games) 

RE2 remake is my favorite of the franchise. The survival horror gameplay is just perfection in my opinion.

I still really enjoy RE3R it’s just 6 hours of straight adrenaline. And playing it back to back with RE2R was such a great experience.

RE2 Remake got me into the series as a whole. Love it, now. I really do the love the slower paced survival horror stuff the most, and RE2 Remake just nails it. Love RE4 Remake as well, just a great series.

For me Re1 remake is the perfect resident evil game. Its modernized, but still has that real re feel to it. Nothing against modern remakes though, i love them too

Code Veronica definitely needs a remake too, even though 6 wasn't that great it was value for money 😅

15- RE0 14- 6 13- 3 remake 12- revelations 2 11- 5 10- village 9- revelations 8- 7 7- 3 6- code veronica 5- 2 4- 1 remake 3- 4 2- 2 remake 1- 4 remake

Re7 and re2r used to fight for #1 for me. But now re4r is EASILY king of the hill at number 1 by miles and miles.

Although most people disagree, Resident Evil 6 is an outstanding game. Despite action being the primary focus of the game, it is still largely unrecognized as an entertaining experience.

Holy crap man I wasn't expecting to be mentioned in the video, though I am really glad and thank you for that. It really shows the quality of your character and it makes me want to keep supporting.

If you have a friend to play with, RE6 is a blast! I didn't want to play it or like it, but a friend of mine basically forced me to play it and I'm really glad he did! The game is ridiculously fun! Especially it's Mercenaries mode! Also, I want a Code Veronica Remake sooooo bad! Also, Also, I would love a rerelease of Outbreak 1 and 2 or they should make an Outbreak 3!

“Operations raccoon shitty” 😂

Thanks for the shutout. That was pretty epic. Good luck with all of your endeavors ❤

Resident Evil is one of if not my favorite video game franchise of all time. RE7 may be the first game I played through, but RE2 remake pretty much solidified my love for this series. RE2 remake is still to this day my favorite in this series. Also on the side note, do you plan on doing a ranking video on the Spiser-Man games?

Resident Evil 6 was actually my first Resident Evil game, I'd seen the cutscenes of the others, but 6 was where I first played it, and it honestly was pretty good, it was enough to hook me onto the series. I've got the platinums for RE2 Remake, RE3 Remake, RE4 Original has no platinum, RE4 Remake, RE5, RE6, and RE Revelations 2.

Again an absolutely fantastic video,I'm Nemesis all the way. I feel that at the time it released I went in my lunch break to buy it and my boss sent me home to play it. I've not finished 5,6 or even looked at Village....so I'm doing a complete play through of them all. Bought a Dreamcast for Veronica and a game cube for the remake...FFS I have the umbrella corp logo inked on my neck. I'm totally going to do them all again,including the remakes,love your content but for me it's always going to be Nemesis 😂

Found myself agreeing with thia list quite a lot, the problem I had with the 3 remake is that ot felt more like dlc for two, especially since playing the Separate Ways remake

I love the use of dino crisis music during your segment on RE2

I didnt start playing any RE games until this year. The first one came out when i was in first grade. RE7 was the one i was the most nervous to play, but ended up being my favorite. After the biss fight with jack and getting to the RV for the first time, such a rush man. Felt like the first time I played dark souls way back in the day. Wish they kept the vibe going the whole game. The shooter second half wasnt as good, but those first 4-6 hours were electric.

For me as far as the top two I'd have to go with #1 being Resident Evil 1 remake and #2 the original Resident evil 2. I found RE2 remake to be just too short of a game. I didnt feel like I was really in the police station for long at all. I would have expanded the police station and cut the sewers and nest area down if there needed to be a trade-off.

It’s interesting because depending on when you were first introduced and played RE will influence which title is the best. For me I first playes RE back in 98 with the original Director Cut. So that original feel, pre-rendered, nostalgia, makes me cherish the originals. RE 3 original being my all time favorite. CV and Outbreak were the pinnacle of original RE. RE 4 and beyond just get too action and crazy for me for someone who appreciates original RE. Their great games for sure but to me not so much “RE” in regards to story. However I do appreciate these later titles because they have breathes new life into my favorite game franchise and now we get remakes of those originals.

this man is powering through game franchises, damn... what a gamer

Bro your Chanel deserves way more views, keep up the great work!

love your style brother. you speak with so much accuracy.

I’m playing through Village in Vr right now, and I can’t remember the last time I’ve had this much fun in a video game. It’s so damn good.

Great video. I myself have gone through a crap ton of RE games this year as well. What started out as just as simple replay of the remakes to 2 and 3 so I could play the remake of 4 ended up seeing myself replaying 5 and 6 along with finally tackling 7 and 8, rebuying a ton of the games I used to own, watching all of the movies, and ending it all with my own retrospective that I have releasing on Halloween. Oh, and I did pick up the Revelations games, but I haven't played them yet. I do disagree with you on there not needing a new remake to RE1. Yes, I love the first remake, but I would still like to have a new remake that plays in the RE Engine and has the updated save system as well. I was never a fan of the ink ribbon system back in the 90s, but that's just how games were back then. Nowadays, it's quite tedious and unnecessary in my book. Plus, they could finally fix the flaws with Rebecca's character since she doesn't even seem to be the same person who just went through hell the night before. Anyway, the remake to 2 is hands down my favorite RE game, though the remake to 4 is close.

Good list. For me personally I liked Revelations 1 more than Revelations 2 and RE3 Remake was very short. Would've been better with DLC too.

I remember playing when re6 came out, and I actually got to do that crossover with another player where someone played as ada and I was Leon and Helena it was short but sweet and a cool lil thing that is likely never gonna be naturally possible again in the game

Kind sounds like re zero should be at the bottom of your list. 😂

I wish RE3MAKE had topless Nemesis in the clocktower (needs more Nemmy). Spiders. Park/graveyard. Also prefer the dead factory in the original as opposed to yet another lab! Ooh and optional paths... Mercenaries?? Add all these things and RE3MAKE would be sweeeet!!!

I’ve played RE8 and RE4R in VR and it’s just impossible to play the games otherwise for me now. It’s fantastic, genuinely some of the best vr content ever made.

RE2 remake is my absolute favorite game of the entire franchise. However I still have yet to play RE4 or the remake. I know I’ll get shit for this but I could not get into the original RE4 because of the controls. I just couldn’t do it. But with the remake I’d be able to play it and experience it all for the 1st time.

my favorite was village at first, but once i played re4r, it def took the tier, but village is right behind it

I remember playing the original resident evil 4 and getting to the island and thinking to myself “this game is still going!?” it was one of the first times I played a long single player game

Great list - so so close to what mine would be. Personally I’d have RE2 and RE4 games the other way around but it’s so close.

My favorite is re7 it just has the horror element down pact, and playing on madhouse and fighting jack through the house is one of my favorite gaming experiences of my life. Yes the game is short but resident evil was on life support after re6 and re7 literally breathed new life into the franchise, also it's budget was horrendous compared to other resident evils so they cut alot of the content it had. I hope the do a re7 remaster with all the cut content and improved graphics. Not to mention the molded being my favorite enemy type, and Marguerite, the only smears i can think of is lucas being boring without playing dlc, and the ship part.

I started playing residnt evil zero for the first time 2 weeks ago in order to play all the games in chronological order and I absolutely love it. I have installed the item box mod so definitely makes it more playable but I love the difficulty and all the levels.

Love the inclusion of the Dino Crisis save theme brother 🤌🏼

This list is spot on. I don't know how they can top the RE4 REMAKE

I’m gonna say this before watching the video, since i’ve only seen the intro. I really liked RE7, but my favorite is actually RER2. It’s definitely in part due to nostalgia, as it was my first one and I played it with my sister when I was still pretty young xD We were playing co-op together and it was just such a great time, so many fun memories. I won’t hold it against you in the slightest if you rank it super low, cuz it’s definitely got its flaws from an objective standpoint. I’m really rooting for it though, hoping you put it high up :)

I really enjoyed this and so many videos from your channel. HELL YEAH! ONE ARMY MAN!! Would love to support you but i'm broke and i´m in Medellín Colombia, if you end here i can get you fish scale 😀😉😉

Hamtaro lol, but yeah your list was perfect I don't really have any complaints. Your grievances with the games were the same as mine lol.

Great list!

TOP TIER vid well done sir

As a hardcore fan I do not judge your list lol 6 may be last but I'll admit it's a guilty pleasure some days 😂 but I love RE series even if bad it's somehow fun lol

Anyone else think 4 is overrated? The enemies aren't as cool as zombies, the setting isn't as cool as the tight closed-in mansion and urban settings, the QTEs are annoying, and vendors aren't as fun as earning weapons and upgrades along the way

RE2 Remake was first ever beaten Resident evil 🙌🏾, I use to watch my brother play Re,re 2 on N64 when I was little so me beating it now that I’m grown was pretty awesome, I beat RE2, 3 remakes and village. I’m on RE 4 remake now

Great video, this was my favorite franchise and I was so disappointed and let down by this remake I never played another resident evil again. (Also an unsolicited but well meaning observation: the “t” in debut is actually silent. It is pronounced “day-b(you)” and past tense is two syllables “day-b(you’d)”. )

Re2 was my first game. As in actually the first video game I got into ever. I absolutely love the franchise and every one of them has great bits, even re5 which is actually one of my favorites, despite the ai which is definitely very bad, re4 was amazing, and I just got the remake last week but only played the opening as I work alot and I like to play when I have plenty of time for it, the village at the beginning (re4 not re8) wrecked me 5 times before I got through, which holds up because I always sucked at it lol. 25+ years of good times, here's to 25 more. Re4 remake so far is fantastic btw.

i hope there's remakes for RE5 RE6 as well, would love to play these in modern style

4 is the most "Resident Evil" game because Residents are Evil.

I played the og re4 because of the remake. First ever re game for me. Now im hooked!

Raid Mode in revelations 2 is absolutely amazing and has endless replayability

The spin-offs would be cool, outbreak is a cool game

The ones I played: 1. Resident Evil 4 Remake - one of the 5 best games ever made. Perfection in every way. 2. Resident Evil Village - I love this game. The atmosphere is so good. 3. Resident Evil 2 Remake - absolutely amazing game with great graphics, story and thrills 4. Resident Evil Zero - Yes I do love Rebecca and yes I do love the atmosphere. 5. Resident Evil 7 - creepy and original 6. Resident Evil Remaster - the gem that started it all 7. Resident Evil 5 - fun ride 8. Resident Evil 3 remake - cut short, but solid enough 9. Resident Evil 6 - mediocre shooter with few okayish/solid moments Have not played the others unfort

I got RE1 when it came out, with the big Playstation game case. It scared the crap outta me when the dogs jumped in the windows. I played it tripping on lsd, i looked down and there was one of the biggest spiders ive ever seen NOT at a pet store. I just got RE 4, 5 and 6 digital pack for 11 dollars about a month ago. I got RE 1 and 2 remake for 20. Im just missing 3 for the numerical series.

Dude “Raccoon Shitty” I was DYING how sly you threw that in. Lmao!

I think Resident Evil 7 would be my favorite just because it's got the VR, walking down the tight corridors of the old house was pretty scary especially in VR. And it brought back the tight claustrophobic hallways. The villains felt more grounded than re8.

My first Resident Evil was I believe RE2 for the ps1. I remember playing it at my dads friends house or something when I was like 9 years old, gotta eaten by some zombies before getting to the police station. I was both facinated and horrified as I had never seen anything like it! Sometime later when I had my own playstation I somehow managed to convince my dad to get me RE1 on the playstation. I remember playing it, but being pretty scared of it at the same time. Still had a blast. Now my rankings hmm it's pretty tough but I'll give it a shot. 16. Resident Evil 6 15. Revelations 14. Resident Evil 3 Remake 13. Resident Evil (Original) 12. Resident Evil 5 11. Resident Evil 4 10. Resident Evil 4 Remake 09. Resident Evil 0 08. Revelations 2 (Raid mode boosts it hard) 07. Resident Evil Remake 06. Resident Evil 7 05. Resident Evil 8 04. Resident Evil 3 03. Resident Evil 2 02. Code Veronica 01. Resident Evil 2 Remake

RE 2 Remake and RE 4 (haven't played the remake sadly yet) are my favs, can't wait to play the remake though after finishing Spider Man 2 and Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart

Re6 was my first RE game, and i'm gonna be honest. I like it. one of my favorite games in the franchise, behind Re2 Remake, Re Revelations, and Re4 Remake.

Game pass allowed me to try resident evil 2 remastered for “free” I’ve now played the game at least 4 times. I love the unlocks you get for playing the game. And now I am playing resident evil 4

Been playing resident evil since 96

I like your Resident Evil from worst too best. I am really a Resident Evil series fan.

RE5 was the Resident Evil game I beat, and while I think it is a weaker game in the series, I will say this: the co-op literally completely changes the experience. I played with my dad, and if ya'll are 2000's gamers at all, there is something about this era of co-op that is just so incredibly different. RE5 sits alongside Army of Two and Conflict Desert Storm as really unique, nostalgic experiences for couch co-op that you really just don't see anymore.

re6 is definitely not the worst resident evil game. like not by a long shot.

The RE1 ‘96 vs the Gamecube version is a perfect example of how much of a jump the “next generation” hardware used to take. (Also provides more justification for my purchase of Gamecube over a PS2 in HS)

1:14:00 Seperate Ways wasnt in the original. It was later added in the PS2 version.

jake wesker was so fun to use in RE6 mercenaries giving the undead a two piece and a soda

One of the hottest takes is judt the rule of putting RE1 and the remake together

I had a moment of standing ovation after i finished playing re4 remake. It was just that good. Original re4 was my favorite. I didnt think they can top re4 original after experiencing the disastrous re3 remake. Boy was i wrong.

one thing i wanna say about resident evil 4 and its remake, is that I loved they expanded the chief mendez story which was awesome but the orginal resident evil 4, Ramon Salazar was way better. I know him and leon were cheezy towards each other but imo, it worked super well.

Baker family

I watched my mom play when I was like 8or 9 and I've been hooked ever since

Sweet vid bruh

I played CV for the first time this summer without a guide and I restarted twice because I thought I was softlocked - one restart was at the arctic base because I thought I effed myself by needing the fire extinguisher

My list: 1 - Re 2 remake 2 - Re 4 Original 3 - Re 4 remake 4 - Re 3 Nemesis 5 - Re 1 7 - Re 2 Original 8 - Re 7 9 - Code Veronica 10 - Re 0 11 - Re Revelarions 2 12 - Re 5 13 - Re Revelations 1 14 - Re 8 Village 15 - Re 3 Remake 16 - Re 6

For me the best RE game is Resident Evil 1 remake. It just captures everything that RE was when it started. Dark atmosphere, standard zombies, puzzles, backtracking and that's also where we see Wesker going insane. It's just amazing to this day, especially with the graphics that haven't aged a bit. If someone asked me what RE series is about, I would just recommend them playing this remake to find out.

re0 is the bregoat, best resident evil game of all time

BEST Resident Evil 4 Remake (9,5/10 Resident Evil 4 (9,5/10) - Both version of RE4 are masterpieces. They have similar strengths but very different weaknesses. At the end, higher ranks goes to the game I'd rather play at the moment. Resident Evil 6 (8,5/10) - Very underrated game if you ask me. Main issue every keeps making is that the game has too much action and not much horror. Well it is an action game, and one the best of that with these controls. Not to mention, Mercenaries and multiplayer. Resident Evil: Revelations 2 (8/10) - Another underrated game that I really liked. Episodic structure worked really well and Raid mode was cherry on top. Resident Evil: Village (8/10) Very good comback after previous numbered entry. Action packed gameplay with very good horror aspects. Very RE4 vibed in the right ways. Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles (7,5/10) Surprisingly good one. Fixed many issues other one had and told the story very well. Very good light gun game overall and different RE game. Resident Evil 5 (7,5/10) It has issues, many of em, but it also did very well with overall feel and action. AI, not the best but I have good memories with this one. Resident Evil 2 (7/10) - I want to like this more. I really do since the story is one of the best RE series has to offer. Leon and Claire are awesome and the way their stories combine, works wonderfully. Gameplay, it drags this down a lot, 2 points down. Resident Evil 2 Remake (7/10) - One issue. They really effed up the story, while they fixed gameplay. Story is shadow of what it was and should have been. If they did the story right, this would be 2 points higher. Resident Evil 3 Remake (7/10) - Very well made as a whole, but some characters just did not work as well as they should have. Some challenges are absolute bs and game is pretty short and simple. But still good. Resident Evil: Revelations (6/10) - Pretty good overall. At times, there is bs choices with some challenges (final boss for one), but as a whole, solid entry with action and horror atmosphere. Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles (6/10) - This is complicated. Story is good, overall feel is great, but gameplay is way too clunky and not precise enough for a light gun game. But it worked well enough. Resident Evil Remake (6/10) - Difficult game and a lot of trial and error. I like what they did with controls and story works well. This style of puzzled based play, is not my things though. Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City (4/10) - This is bad. It has so much potential overall, but there is n finetuning at all. It is clunky and shooting has no feeling. Disappointing and huge waste of potential. Resident Evil VII: Biohazard (4/10) - This does not feel like RE game. That it my issue. Resident Evil: Code Veronica (3/10) - At this point, controls should have evolved, but no. I really like Claire and wanted to give this game a real chance, but this is not fun. It is a mess with items and puzzles and pretty unfair with most parts. Resident Evil (3/10) - Pretty difficult because it is very unclear and rough. But it was inspirational. WORST

i love part 5 the mini gun its so sick i killed so many zombies and monsters

Resident Evil failed at making shooting fun after RE7, now every damn enemies take 10-12 headshots, sometimes 3, like what the hell? I'm supposed to be rewarded with accuracy not some RNG ass crapfest. Cought...cough...RE2R.

I clicked on this video because your name is totally tubular, please don’t disappoint.

I dont know what my list would look like, but 7, both 2 and 3 are my favorites

RE3R was such a missed opportunity like I would’ve been more than happy if they just gave the original a remaster if i knew the remake would end up like this

RE2 to me is still the best RE game ever made.

I'd cop hate for this, but while RE2 Remake is my favourite (like most people), RE8 was a close second for me. Loved the dark Gothic fairy tale kinda vibe. Something new to RE really.

honestly revelations 2 is my favorite game not sure why but i just love it

Good video

If we don't get a Code Veronica remake, then I want an re6 remake

NICE VIDEO!! My personal top: 1. RE3 1999 (unbeatable atmosphere, scares and replay value!) 2. RE4 Remake (best remake, can't get enough of it!) 3. RE5 (don't know what the hell happened to everyone else, I never had a problem with Sheva's AI and this is one of the most I replayed for fun! Also: BEST VILLAIN!) 4. RE1 Remake (of course!) 5. RE2 (the true revolution) 6. RE2 Remake (great remake, but inferior to the original) 7. RE4 (don't like it as much as the Remake, even though I loved it back in the day) 8. RE Code Veronica (needs a remake, but amazing atmosphere and story) 9. RE3 Remake (fun parody of the original) 10. RE1 (because history) 11. RE Revelations (sometimes fun) 12. RE7 (half great, half boring) 13. RE0 (good for playing once... but so dumb) 14. RE6 (solid game, AWFUL RE game) 15. RE Revelations 2 (just for raid mode, honestly... it's not a good entry) RE Village, still haven't played.

Completely agree with RE0 being bottom 3. It’s just too tedious and frustrating to get through. I’ve only fully played through the game once and I’m not interested in going back. I’ll go back and play the train section again, but that might be it. Also, i would personally put Code Veronica down in bottom 3. The early game is awful. The only item boxes at first are where you start and in the mansion. You don’t have access to the facility item box for some time so you constantly have to run all the way up to the mansion and back just to swap around items.

Take a shot every time he says "really solid"

I’m glad they are doing remakes cus I wouldn’t be able to play the retro ones 😂 because of the controls and camera. And back tracking and maps aren’t my best skill lmao

Resident evil is one of my favorite series also

Re8 and re 4 remake are awesome.

Finally an other tottally tubular video!

👀 I stopped playing RE 7 to play village in 3rd person because 7 was definitely super scary 😂😂😂😂

Im currently playing 7 and I would agree it is the scariest but the damn boat section makes it tedious to play this game

Very odd choice to combine the original RE and the remake when they are quite distinct. I'm guessing you didn't play the original when it first came out. Otherwise it's a pretty decent list.
