Ranking the best Resident Evil games is no easy task. Since 1996, Capcom's long-running series has delivered some of the best horror games ever made, a true pioneer of the survival horror genre that many new games have sought to emulate over the years. While imitation is the sincerest form of splattery (pardon the zombie brains), you'll find no such thing here.
I've played every single Resident Evil game that has ever been released, and after much debate with the rest of the hardcore Raccoon City experts on the GamesRadar+ team, I've rounded up the top 10 titles across the Resident Evil timeline. For this ranking, I've made sure to keep in mind both horror and action when considering placements. Some games lean more towards one genre, and others give us the perfect balance of both. The titles with true thrills and chills are the ones who I believe should be lauded as the all-time greats.
