The RE engine era of Resident Evil has been an interesting one. One that got the series back on track after moving as far away as possible from its roots. A welcome return to its survival horror beginnings. It's not to say they abandoned action altogether. They did experiment with a blending of the two. Of course, we also saw remakes, remakes, remakes. Ones of various quality. Some much lesser than others.
With REquiem and the series 30th anniversary on the horizon, I wanted to take a look back on this era of Resident Evil that started with 7. I'll give my thoughts on each title, along with ranking them.
I'll also give my thoughts on the upcoming Requiem with what's Capcom's shown so far.
Finally, I'll give my thoughts and concerns of the series moving forward. Spoiler alert - one of those concerns involve the rumored future remakes. With that, let's dive in.
