Ranking Every Resident Evil Game (2025)

[@irman925]

I had a feeling the thumbnail showing 6 in S tier as click bait, but it sure did work

[@garyofalltrades]

Mwahahahahaha 😈. For real thanks for checking it out though.

[@Вард05]

I was born in the late 2000s so I never got to play and experience those old great games so sometimes I wish I was born earlier to experience them and have a fun/scary childhood , I played resident evil 2 remake it was so good to the point where it drove me into the resident evil series.

[@norwegianblue2017]

Same here, except I was born in the 1960s. Never played consoles, unless you count Atari 2600 and Colecovision. Was always a computer gamer since the late 80s. RE7 was my first RE game and I like it a lot. Very disappointed in Village. But RE2 Remake is what got me hooked on the franchise.

[@CelticSlayer93]

RE2 is absolutely the best. I remember beating the original RE2 when I was 11. It was the first full-length difficult game I completed.

[@eros727]

Code Veronica tops my list all time in RE. Closely followed by RE2 and Remake. Can’t wait till Code Veronica gets a remake.

[@deanmartin737]

Love the silent hill videos! ❤

[@garyofalltrades]

Thank you!

[@GUnsworth93]

Very entertaining to watch, the time you mentioned your father renting games from a store that must of been late 90s early 00s. I can relate to that, I also remember my father doing that, use to watch him play. It’s what got me into games. I agree with your list to. I’m currently trying to complete Separate Ways DLC for RE4 remake, going for S+! Hope you had a good Christmas and happy new year.

[@garyofalltrades]

Thank you! And good luck with Separate Ways. It’s such a good DLC

[@yaboifranks4042]

Hot take, but RE5 is the best in the series if you had someone to play it with. I’ve only ever played it co-op, never solo.

[@doomkid02]

Co-op definitely enhanced the experience! Now is it good resident evil game? Not really imo. Is it a good action game? Absolutely, especially when playing co-op.

[@bepohal]

nope

[@Cayde-6sHorn]

I really wish my memory card for my GameCube hadn't melted. RE3: Nemesis was and still is my favorite game for my GameCube. Just gotta find a new memory card.

[@BrandonWestfall]

RE4 Remake in VR has to be one of my favorite experiences in gaming over the last 40 years. There's definitely some frustrations (using a scope on any rifle) but it's a solid 9/10 for me. If they had Separate Ways and Mercenaries in VR it would easily be a 10. I used to religiously speedrun RE2 before speedrunning was a thing. With that said Remake is better in nearly every way. My only complaint is that I wish the A/B scenarios would've been more developed. It's a great time to be a RE fan that's for sure.

[@jeremybrocknblue5593]

You don’t understand how horrifying is was when resident evil first came out…. I had never played anything like it….. it scared me so much I waited for my sister to get home to watch her try……she got so scared and spazzed out the she threw thecontoller across the room

[@tylerrumfelt3353]

Re8 was a hit for me. I loved the winter atmosphere. It made me excited for 9.

[@amansharma9506]

I had never played RE game but playing RE2 made me fan of the series. Out of RE2 remake, RE3 remake, RE4 remake, 7 and 8 that i have played, 2 is still the best one

[@sordieo]

Re4 OG is untouchable, re2 is overrated. Re6 was great but aged terribly. RE0 is my personal favorite.

[@cmonmanyouknowthething8200]

I always say that RE 4 OG was my first love of the franchise. Although we broke up after RE 5 and 6. BUT, RE7 is when we got back together and the love was reinvigorated. 😂😅🤣 I couldn’t disagree more about RE3 OG and remake though. The remake was average and cut out a lot of parts and nemesis was too scripted. The OG was terrifying and nemesis was a better stalker enemy in a ps1 game..

[@bepohal]

his list isn’t very solid, from an argument standpoint

[@Jaredcellucci25]

U got a new sub bro

[@garyofalltrades]

Nice, thank you!

[@Jaredcellucci25]

@garyofalltrades your welcome

[@johankrausse9026]

I played RES4 remake last year and was one of my favorite games I have ever played.

[@JohnFKennedy313]

RE6 was fun as a co op game but story wise it was all over the place

[@Particle_Ghost]

Revelations 1 is critically underrated. It feels like the old classic style and controls like a new game. Also, the RE2 remake was not perfect. The alligator boss fight was cut because they didn't want to take the time to program it and they removed a few enemy types. A bunch of the story was also changed including when they would meet up various points in the station, including who would take what weapon. Mr. X also isn't supposed to make an appearance until B mode, they basically ruined B mode and now both practically feel the same. The only thing B mode does now is pretty much unlock the full ending.

[@blackpup-d1h]

great video bro

[@garyofalltrades]

Thank you!

[@TheBurgerKingBK]

Great list, really enjoyed the video and all your reasonings! I would put RE4 Remake above RE2 Remake mainly because of the B scenarios. They reuse a lot of the same puzzles as the A scenario and make the overall story pretty hard to follow lol.

[@bepohal]

RE4R is a downgrade to the original

[@TheBurgerKingBK]

@ I disagree. The gameplay and story are improved.

[@bepohal]

@@TheBurgerKingBK the gameplay got even more clumsy, slower and clunky. and the story is basically still the same and embarrassing to the bone. saving the president's daughter all alone is pathetic

[@TopMostFlavor]

I like that 4-8 are wildly different from each other, I hope 9 is just as weird and different

[@bepohal]

4, 5, 6 & 8 are basically the same in different settings. pure action horde shooter games

[@DoggyPaws4]

​@@bepohal8 isn't pure action, the first half of the game is more horror and the second half is more action

[@bepohal]

@@DoggyPaws4 it‘s through and through action. there is not even space to argue about this. it just gets even more action heavy the further you get but it even starts with a huge horde shooting

[@DoggyPaws4]

@@bepohal then you have whole sections without fighting at all like the doll house, or when you have to spend time running away from lady d

[@bepohal]

@@DoggyPaws4 that's about 10% of the game. so 90% is action horde shooting

[@CrazeeAdam]

Also wow. Call back to blockbuster! We have to be around the same age xD (30s). Used to rent movies and games from there too

[@garyofalltrades]

Yea I’m 38. I miss me some Blockbuster!

[@CrazeeAdam]

@@garyofalltrades I knew it XD yeah. 34 here. And same. It was some fun times. Just the atmosphere and sometimes renting things had their perks. I guess that's kind of what Demos are now in a way but not quite the same

[@f9w99]

RE 5 becomes god tier with couch coop

[@garyofalltrades]

I gotta try that sometime. I only ever played solo

[@mysterroniouscherry326]

Dead Aim was awesome. I played it when I was a kid.

[@hydromexicano]

Yup re4 was GD revolutionary

[@tramelgearon7002]

Resident evil 3 remake was actually disappointing in my opinion

[@CrazeeAdam]

So the thing with 6 to me. Is it a fun action game? Yes. It's a fun shooter action game. Is it a fun RE game? No. It has nothing to do with RE feel wise or even lore wise almost. But I think that's why some love it. It's shlocky, action fun you don't have to think about. But that doesn't appeal to most actual RE fans. I relate it to a Michael Bay movie almost. Should RE be a Michael Bay film? No. Should be closer to a Fincher or suspense director imo. If not a full blown horror director, but a good one

[@devanloveland9515]

I want to like re7 so bad! Trying to figure out how to play it without getting sick. Those 1st person, side to side movements make me dizzy and nauseous. Same with re8.

[@THEWArioReview-63]

Just for you to know umbrella corps game is a even shittier version of operation raccoon city, more generic and with more bugs

[@garyofalltrades]

Oh damn, guess I’m not missing anything then!

[@blake7587]

What’s with the clickbait thumbnail pic implying that 2 and 4 are “trash” and 7 is “D”? 🤔

[@GhostSandalsGaming]

Just answered your own question.

[@lawluka]

you are fan of re and you put remake re 3 in A?

[@indianwarlord6935]

Re5 below 3 remake and village is criminal

[@Jaredcellucci25]

Resident evil 3 resident evil 2 and 7 are my favorites

[@jackrabbit0612]

Im not gonna play reverse

[@bignorm8586]

O.M.G. YOU ARE REALLY MISSING OUT ON RESIDENT EVIL OUTBREAK FILE 1 AND 2 THEY ARE AWESOME I LITERALLY JUST BEAT IT 3 MONTHS AGO GETTING ALL THE SPECIAL ITEMS GREAT GAME YOU'RE MISSING OUT

[@roxasoo3004]

Re3r is better than re3 original What a world we live in lol

[@Mrmelinaperezfan15]

I hate Resident Evil 6 it's all over the place and too many characters and storylines. Resident Evil 5 is definitely fun when you have someone else to play it with! Resident Evil Biohazard is my favorite as well. I love the whole baker family and Ethan's introduction. the soundtrack is so good too!

[@chrisr8916]

Putting og behind remake is blasphemy. But hey to each their own

[@andreasmoller9798]

Putting the worst mainline resident evil game, 6 in a s tier, and 2 and 4 remakes as trash says at all, 2 and 4 remakes easily is s rank with ome of the best resident evil titles ever

[@garyofalltrades]

I think my clickbait thumbnail worked a little too well

[@bepohal]

@@garyofalltrades seems like but your real list isn't really good (from an objective POV) and shows you don't understand the franchise

[@joelmahaffey322]

You forgot resident evil deadly silence for nintendo DS

[@garyofalltrades]

Oh yea I did! I don’t think I ever owned that one but I remember playing it a little bit. Maybe you or Bryce had it? Either way, I know it’s supposed to be an improved port of RE1, but I probably couldn’t rank it.

[@johnmarston7833]

You didn't put Operation Raccoon City on the list.

[@garyofalltrades]

It’s at 27:19

[@DapperDan22]

Funny. Remake 2 and 4 are way too high up while 5 and 6 are way too low. 5 and 6 are amazing re games while the remakes arent. The story in there are lackluster and the characters feels like a cardboard box lol

[@Bishop777songsBoRNagAIn]

Code veronica x Re 1 DC 1997 Re2 remake Re 5 mercenaries united

[@bepohal]

solid

[@guardiandemonx7936]

there game that's better than Resident Evil called The Evil Within

[@TheDrunkLawyer]

Nahh Rev2 is at the very least A tier, if not S. Way better than Village or 3make.

[@garyofalltrades]

I definitely need to play that one again

[@bepohal]

exactly. it’s a very good RE game

[@darkandevil9436]

Re5 and 6 should be higher stop being a hater

[@givemesomesugar93]

Shut up re5 is mediocre but definitely a little better with a person. Re6 is straight up buttcheeks

[@bepohal]

they are were they belong

[@WassapDoc]

Dude the remakes are horrible lol i guess I shouldnt expect much. Most players aren’t hardcore RE players. More like casual so its fine I guess

[@samd2013]

I’m a hardcore RE fan and the remakes are excellent, the originals and the remakes are both fantastic. Although I’ll give it to you that 3 original is better than the remake. 1 remake is better than 1 original. But 2 and 4 remake are equal to me.

[@nickp3949]

I’m one of the RE4 haters and here’s why. I find the game extremely boring. It’s basically a wave shooter. It’s extremely linear, there’s barely any puzzles and the maze-like labyrinth design of the original games is gone. Solving puzzles, finding keys, exploring large buildings and areas, conserving ammo, etc…that’s what RE is all about. RE4 has basically none of that. It waters down every aspect of RE and focuses solely on the combat which is very repetitive. There’s only so much “walk into a room and kill a million enemies” I can take. It’s a terrible RE game. If you like wave shooters then yeah it’s a great one. But I hate playing through it because it’s so long and it’s the same thing the entire time. Also, the worst aspects of Village are the things it takes from RE4. The franchise needs to stay as far away from 4-6 as possible. Again, just my opinion, hope I explained myself properly.

[@nicholasseitler4997]

I prefer the remake of RE4 as it feels a little more "survival horror" surprisingly. More backtracking, more conserving items on pro difficulty, scenarios and rooms where you have to run past enemies, etc... that being said, it's still not a good RE game at all, but I'd say it was better than OG in that respect.

[@nickp3949]

@@nicholasseitler4997 It is better for sure but I still don't love it because at the end of the day t's still pretty much the same kind of game. It's my least favorite of the remakes.

[@garyofalltrades]

Even though I still love RE4, I can definitely understand this opinion. There's no doubt this is where it got less about survival horror and more about action.

[@f9w99]

If you enjoy video games it’s a classic. If you’re a hardcore RE fan, it’s an acceptable position. A small minority but still valid one.

[@nicholasseitler4997]

@@nickp3949 Yea. What'd you think of RE2 Remake? I quite liked that one.

[@Cyaeghax]

Re3 remake in my opinion is an horrible remake

[@bepohal]

to say RE4 had limited ammo & health while it’s coded the exact opposite and saying it had item management while you had an attaché case where you can fit an apartment in it without key items taking up space shows that you have absolutely no clue about that genre or the franchise in general. it had a few puzzles and almost 0 horror but tension (which isn’t the same)

[@DapperDan22]

It did. The reason why you say that is because you rely heavily on the merchant. Re4 was built around not using the merchant and using its fundamentals which the remake severely lacks. That game heavily relies on merchant otherwise that game is near unplayable

[@WassapDoc]

Ppl who say 4 or 5 is action oriented: 🤡

[@giwi4]

RE2 remilk has to be one of the worst games in the series. The story makes no sense, the gameplay is shit, bosses are shit, everything is so shitty about that game.

[@garyofalltrades]

😳 🤯

[@WassapDoc]

True. Warytherook explains it well. Same goes for re3r and re4r. Just a bunch of money grab remakes
