We collect the five deliveries of Resident Evil best valued in history, according to Metacritic. Terror will return with Nemesis in 2020.
Resident Evil is on everyone's lips again. In a step by the previous generation not without controversy to leave behind its survival horror profile, from Capcom they entered Xbox One and PS4 with an idea in mind: to return us to the terror that we all know. After a Resident Evil 2: Remake that returned the franchise to the front line, it has not been until the past State of Play when we have been able to know their future plans.
Nemesis returns through the big door through the Resident Evil 3 remake. Completing the other part of Raccoon City can take place from April 3, 2020. Meanwhile, what are the best franchises in its history? We went to metacritic to know which is the top 5 of one of the most influential brands in this industry.
Resident Evil 4, the deep Spain (96)
Resident Evil 4 quickly became the formula to follow for future third-person action titles that would appear upon arrival. The importance of this delivery is vital. Having gradually touched the purest action (especially with Code Veronica), Resident Evil 4 was almost the germ by which the coming current formed within the saga.
At that time, after analyzing its version for GameCube, we underlined the milestone that it would become: “Resident Evil 4 not only manages to establish itself as one of the basic pillars within the catalog of the console that has given it shelter but also, It is an obligatory reference in the elaboration of sequels. The flow that feeds this creative torrent does not faint a single moment and continually gives us surprise after surprise ”. And is not for less. An essential that today we can enjoy thanks to its transfer to most current platforms.
Resident Evil, the origin of everything (91)
It is redundant to emphasize that Resident Evil is the origin of everything. Almost none of the residents of that mansion manage to forget the experience lived at that time. Beyond its original version, it highlights its subsequent arrival in the form of Remake. In the middle of 2002 it was possible to enjoy the well-known terror in GameCube from a much more formed perspective for the times.
For many it is considered the best remake ever created, and it is no less given how faithful it is to walk through its halls. Today it is easy to find it on almost all existing platforms; Resident Evil is a classic that is still fresh just like the first day.
Resident Evil 2, the remake everyone is talking about (91)
Because it is easy to talk about the curator, the laboratory, the sewers of a city that lives its worst moments from the barrier. Resident Evil 2 must be experienced in the first person, both with Leon and Claire, to understand why it is one of the best titles valued not only in general, but of this generation. Specifically, especially the latter, responds to a remake that despite not being so faithful to the original, turns the same experience into a classic flavor. And that always likes.
Mr. X has become the charismatic antagonist that everyone is fleeing in recent years. The usual formula from the control method of a current game. Aged but modern, the key by which we are faced with an indispensable catalog of Xbox One and PS4.
Resident Evil VII, the house of horrors (86)
We must be honest: the first person feels great for Resident Evil. His arrival in 2017 set a precedent to what we receive today from Capcom. Resident Evil VII left behind the unbridled action lived in its numbered predecessor to move to a tremendously known formula: backtracking, counting each bullet and surviving in hostile halls. In short, a form of survival horror game.
It is an incognito if the numbered saga will follow closely the proposal seen in it, but what is clear is that you should not miss its proposal. Even less thanks to the Gold Edition, which allows you to delve into the three additional downloadable content, in addition to the free Not a Hero.
Resident Evil 5, Chris and his rock (84)
Maybe Resident Evil 5 is not so well regarded among the public with the perspective of time, especially after certain scenes less than delusional (the punches to that mastodóntica stone), but the truth is that in the middle of 2009 it was a total experience package : solo campaign mode, functional cooperative, challenge mode and many secrets to achieve.
Although the action has not aged as well as it should (as happened with Resident Evil 4), the truth is that the feeling of squeezing a game that lends itself to multiple ways of doing so is a virtue that very few have.
