15 Resident Evil Games - Ranked From Worst To Best
2. Resident Evil 4
Alright, I love this game as much as the next RE fan, but whether we like to admit it or not, this IS the game that marked the beginning of the end (until RE7, anyway), and it's the game that stabbed us in the back in favour of the cool action market. Still, it's easy to gloss over that because the game is so damn good.
That notwithstanding, Resident Evil 4 is fingertips away from being a third-person, horror-esque, shooter masterpiece, and that's only because no game is perfect.
Engrossing levels, satisfying combat, interesting bosses, laughable plot and characters(in a good way) and, of course, the highlight of the whole game: the badass Merchant.
Now, there certainly are moments of horror and it's presented well, the Regenerators being obvious examples, but it isn't scary, not really, and people forget that understandably so.
As I said, it's a near-perfect game, but one that doesn't contain the whole essence of a Resident Evil game...
