EVERY Resident Evil Game Ranked Worst To Best

8. Resident Evil (Original)

Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City Nemesis

The one that started it all; Resident Evil on the original PlayStation was the progenitor of the survival horror genre. Beginning in the dense forests of the Arklay Mountains, S.T.A.R.S team Alpha are unlucky enough to be the first witnesses to the Umbrella Corporation's twisted experiment.

It's up to either Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine to explore the infested mansion, unravel the conspiracy and . Doing so is not easy, as bloodthirsty creatures lurk around every corner; from the t-virus infused zombie to the nasty chimera, the gallery of monsters seen in the franchise's debut title are certainly unnerving to this day. The anxiety was also enhanced by the limited number of resources and ink ribbons for saving the game

It was a groundbreaking title for the time, but almost twenty-four years after its release, it does show its age. The dialogue, while capably amusing for 1996, stands out more for its awful writing and direction nowadays.

With all the progress the series has made since then, there isn't much reason to go back to to the first game in the series other than nostalgic replays. While multiple endings are offered, you're better off going with the far superior GameCube remake.
