The traditional RE mechanics work just as well in first-person and it also lets the series borrow from recent horror masterpieces like Amnesia, Outlast, and Alien Isolation. However, nobody can argue that Resident Evil in first-person doesnвЂ™t work or canвЂ™t be scary. It was a radical departure from what had come before, so those that fell in love with the series on the PS1 or during the RE4 era do have our sympathy.

Resident Evil Village upped the ante when it came to action, but never lost its identity as a horror experience. The game combined what made the original RE successful with modern first-person horror elements in a risky experiment that ultimately paid off. Horror vs ActionДЄfter the Hollywood action chaos that was Resident Evil 6 failed to win over fans or critics, Capcom stripped the franchise back to its bare bones for Resident Evil 7, creating a true survival horror experience.
