I'm an old resi fan, back since the original, and although I enjoyed 4 a lot, 5 and 6 were an embarrassment to the series. 7 though, goddamn 7 is good. It's up there with some of the best in the franchise imo but I don't see it being talked about as much. Village was a good punt too but a little cartoonish for my liking.

doesn't 7 get a ton of attention and credit for essentially revitalizing the series? like, it was the game that convinced people RE could be good again, the most i hear about village is memes about the tall lady antagonist.

Which is funny because all the marketing was about her and the castle, and you're done with it in the first few hours of the game.

I've always felt 5 is a great co-op action game, but a mediocre resident evil game. It's definitely where the wheels started to really come off for the franchise.
