The best resident evil in my opinion. Why?...

Although it is the least survival horror of the series (outside of O.R.C, U.C., Resistance, and Re: Verse) and leans more into action/adventure, it has THE BEST GAMEPLAY in my opinion, with the Revelations series coming in close second. Characters that actually RUN! Can you believe it!!?? No more stupid ass half sprinting. I mean... would you only use a light jog in a bio-terror situation or zombie apocalypse? I dont think so~!!!! You'd be running your ass off. Being as tactical, fast, and agile as possible. Sneaky and stealthy when needed but when shit hits the fan its go time!!!! I mean.... movement so bad in the 2 and 3 remakes you have to spam dodge and hobble around like an idiot in order to speedrun! None of that here!

This game was pre-adaptive damage as well, meaning if youre actually a good shot it doesnt take six or eight headshots to down a zombie and you arent penalized for accuracy and skill. It has great dodge mechanics as well! AND A RUNNING SLIDE! Which is not only useful for evasion but also to stun enemies. You really feel like you have control of your character and not just limited for the sake of artificial difficulty.

On top of all of that, the skill system is pretty neat and adds a reason to replay the game more than once, collecting points to unlock skills such as the weapon master skills that increase your damage, and shooting wild which removes your laser / reticle / cursor but gives you a massive damage boost, rewarding you greatly for accurate shots. There are other great skills as well like pickup frequency enhancements, infinite ammo if youre into that, piercing (bullet penetration), crit damage, enemy type damage, etc.

And if all of that wasnt enough, the game includes what is essentially 7.5 campaigns. There are 4 actual campaigns, and you can play through each as two different characters which both have their own unique experiences / roles during gameplay. Ada's campaign has Hunk as the second character which has somewhat a limited experience hence the 7.5 campaigns instead of 8.

Yes, there are a few mechanics that some players feel are annoying or frustrating like a couple of instances that rely on button timing, a couple of wonky vehicle sections, and some instances where you dont have equipment and may have to hide, solve a puzzle, or use stealth/melee.

ANNNNND!!! The game has multiplayer co-op that you can join in at any time (or be joined), you can turn on/off the ability for players to join in as enemy monsters when you start a campaign (or play that mode yourself, joining in and trying to kill players). You can play with players all over the world, or set it to regional, and it shows their connectivity strength.

ANNNNNDDD!! The game has mercenaries.

The RE Games frequently go on sale from 30% to 75% off. If youre a fan of the series and like games with good character control mechanics, dont mind that its not super spooky and leans into action, want a ton of content for a very reasonable price, then grab this game. ESPECIALLY if its on sale.
