Every Mainline Resident Evil Ranked From Worst To Best

Resident Evil 0 is the final game to feature the classic RE style of gameplay and was released for the Nintendo Gamecube. Serving as a prequel to the original, players are put in the shoes of Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen who encounter a plethora of deadly creatures.

The game has two new features, however, that serve as a hindrance than a form of innovation.

The first is the partner zapping system. Though this feature allows for creative ways to solve puzzles, it could also lead to unintentional game-overs. You see, players had to watch out for both characters' health bars so if your AI companion dies, then you lose. It's a neat idea that required much more finesse and playtesting.

The second and most controversial addition is the revamped item management. Now RE has prided itself on challenging players with limited resources but RE0 overdoes it by removing item boxes. This forced players to drop important weapons and items combined with the already limited inventory system. This proved to be too cumbersome and added unnecessary obstacles in an already hard game.
