Re7 is basically what a horror game should be. Limited vision, not knowing if you have enough gear for the next section, running into enemies unexpectedly. Its just brilliant
It took me two years to actually unwrap and play the game. I literally had to force myself through it until I got to the point where I was like “Yeah, I’ve invested too much time to not complete it” Village was kinda disappointing in comparison since people found 7 too scary >_>
I completed RE7 in VR.... The scariest thing I've experienced in my life. Had to stop in certain parts, watch a UA-cam video to see what happened next and then go back to the headset lol
RE7 is wild af. I went through severe depression after my dad passed away and I jumped head first into that game in January 2017. I did multiple playthroughs, beat it on madhouse and unlocked everything. 8 was fantastic as well but different. I like most re’s
RE Village gave me such a weird feeling because i wasn't scared in the slightest, and then they throw the terrifying baby at me. It gets me spooked and excited, but then its back to action-boy and less scared-boy the rest of the game.
Bro 100% agree, I was like “alright well it’s definitely a thriller not a horror” then bam that fuckin fetus, I’ve never screamed like that or said fuck so many times since probably outlast or the first time you deal with a licker in the OG RE2 💀 especially when you’re waiting on the fuckin elevator
That part is great for the first time. (i'm playing RE since the first one on the PS1, and for the first time i was scared.) That being said the same part is the worse from the replayability factor.
Village is a hard one to rank. It is scary at times, and has the single scariest section in any RE title, ever, but because the game is such a grab bag of ideas, playing almost like an RE Greatest Hits, it also gets goofy and silly at times too, so the scariness levels are all over the place. And yeah, obviously 7 was going to be in first.
On one hand, you fight a power rangers robot wars battle against a cocky german magneto in a giant mech who trash talks you, and on the other hand, you have to go through a haunted mansion that slowly builds up to a hallucination of a giant fetus that cries and laughs in a dark, red lit hallway, chasing you.
@@thesnatcher3616 Yep, I understand some calling that tonal inconsistency, and they aren't wrong. My impression was that it was designed as Resident Evil greatest hits collection, with the wildly different sections recalling different eras of the franchise, so I kind of interpreted it as a bit of a victory lap for the franchise, while also continuing 7's direction of telling a story with more personal stakes. I personally identify more with a protagonist fighting to save his wife and daughter more than I do a protagonist fighting to stop a terrorist threat (same reason I preferred Claire's section in RE2 remake).
@@crazydud3380 I agree. I thought it was great. I love me some variety and I think the game did a good job hinting at the type of experiences you'll receive with each section with the personality of each lord in the beggining. Heisenberg is loud and over the top. Dimetrscu is sophisticated yet haughty. Moreau is pathetic and Donna says nothing yet her doll doesn't shut up(this inconsistency perhaps hinting that something is just off about her). It knew what game it wanted to be from the beggining I feel. The marketing just seems to have misled people. And let's face it, Resident Evil always had odd tonal shifts in it's games. You are in an antique and archaic police station one moment, and the next you'll be in a super high tech bio lab.
@@thesnatcher3616 Exactly. It's always been that way. Even 7, eventually you get Mia's flashback VHS, and from that point, the game switches into a more action-oriented experience.
Ngl, even after knowing it was coming up from seeing spoilers, it still had me tense whenever I went through it lmao. I wanted to finish that part as quick as possible and it was the only part that made me nervous
When I started the video I knew that RE7 had to at least be in the top 3, I was glad to see you gave it the correct spot at number 1 lol. I do have other favorite RE games over RE7, but I absolutely love the game and I think it easily takes the cake as the scariest RE game. The atmosphere is incredibly oppressive and trekking through the dilapidated mansion in first person is absolutely nerve wrecking every time I play it. The sound design is perfect. My top 5 scariest RE games are: 1. RE7 2. RE2 Remake 3. RE1 Remake 4. RE4 Remake and Original (equally scary in different ways for me) 5. RE2 original
Couldn't agree more 💯RE7 is certainly the scariest in the franchise and even though I, like you, don't consider that one my favorite in the series, it's still an excellent game.
Imho RE4 (both the original and the remake) is not a quiet kind of scary like classic RE games, but a loud and hectic type of scary. Players constantly get ganked by a mob of parasite-infested-cultists, in which they need to pay attention to their positioning and decide which gun is best used for the moment (while paying attention to the amount of ammos in the inventory).
For me, it was the scarlet part of any game period. Such a perfect build-up of dread that starts as soon as you enter the foggy grounds before the manor with the mia hallucinations. It also has a great payoff with the fetus and red lit halls. There are so many little things as well that add to it, like the picture of the woman laying down that falls to make her look like she was hung and the quiet scream from Ethan after collecting the fuse. It was perfect like he was trying to hold it but just couldn't. It's also more personal given that the hallucination was tied to Ethans' fear of what Rose might become when put back together and the small bit of Donna we actually see is so eerie right before she picks up Angie again. (TLDR- The Beneviento manner was damn near perfect, and I just felt like gushing about it.)
Definitely but village unfortunately has only one scary area. That is why village is a highly disappointing game. Not to mention, the game gives you too much shit in hand and at that point I looked back on how 4 actually was and I can confirm that the game was only popular because of Lady Dimitrescu. Before the remake of 4 I even wondered if it was even possible to use currency for a resident evil game. While I do think so now, it almost felt impossible.
RE7 was my first RE game and yep it was pretty scary the first time i played it though now because of it I got though all the numbered RE games without issue and even platium each one.
@@funmylife9248 i'd have to say 7 it was the first time I really got into horror games and getting the unlock weapons and beating my time in the story was just fun since it was all new to me.
I had so much fun playing RE7. I bought it at Walmart on its release date about six minutes after midnight, went right home, popped it in, and I'm pretty sure I stayed up until around 6 in the morning playing that game. It was truly unrelenting; they really pulled out all the stops with RE7 and I just couldn't put it down. Truly a brilliant and scary game that will stick in my mind forever.
I played the lot before RE7 and it was a return to form in the horror department. It is to me the most frightening game. While there are plenty of cheap jumpscares, there is plenty of substantive qualities to the game that make it genuinely difficult to play at times during a first playthrough. The family and enemies are terrifying for one. Being stalked by Jack is the scariest thing in the entire franchise to me. First playthrough I was on edge even after killing Jack, being totally unsure that he was actually dead. Not to mention the atmosphere is far and away the scariest, though the Gothic and Victorian elements of RE1 and RE Village also make a great scene. Everything on the property is in complete disarray and completely filthy. Little things like that go a long way in showing the depravity of the family and how unpredictable they are, whereas in a game like RE1 and RE2 there is still some order in the surrounding environment.
The only thing I hated in re7 was the boat with Mia and the end boss could’ve been better also the enemy variety should’ve been more and Lucas part should been better but I still loved it.
Man I thought I was the only who thought the game dropped off as soon as you get to the ship. That’s literally the only part of the game I can’t stand.
RE1 Remake would have been scarier if it had a stalker enemy, but I still think it's the scariest one in the series. I even think it might be the best Resident Evil game overall.
Easily the scariest. I know a lot of people aren't too fond of static camera angles, tank controls, and finite resources anymore, but the fixed cinematic camera angles, slow deliberate movements, and knowing that you really can screw yourself by using too many resources really do make for tension that the newer ones just can't do anymore. Fighting waves of enemies with enough firepower to conquer a small country knowing each enemy is dropping more resources than you spent to kill them is fun and can be scary, but nothing tops going into a new room with a handgun and only three bullets left, and hearing a zombie moaning out of sight or god-forbid a sound you've never heard before.
@jackjax7921 If I was blinded by nostalgia, I would have picked the original RE2, RE3, and RE4. I played those way before. I had a PS2 around the time RE1 Remake was released, so I didn't get a chance to play it back then until they released the HD Remaster version.
There will be a lot of games, but no one will make me jumpscare more than re 2 original (I was like 10 or 11 years old when I played and it traumatized me in some events). Re4 original too, the way the people attacked and flanked you was so stressful and horrific. Now that everything has evolved, the new games stress me more than scare. After the first dead space, it was hard to be amazed by a scary situation (I haven't played re7 and village, so I'll try both once I get some money.
I really think people sleep on how scary RE4 was the first time around, I think it's been replayed too many times and is too much in the cultural aether or whatever, I actually would place it third after 7 and REmake in terms of how scary it is. The amount of times you see discussion of RE4 devolve into "debating" whether it is an action game or a horror game is also really annoying
first encounter with the chainsaw man, the regenerators(which are the scariest enemy in the entire franchise and nothing really comes close imo), the garradors, solo Ashley section, going back to the village during the storm/first encounter with the wolves, Verdugo, it's only really parts of the island section that go off the rails, and even then there's still some creepy moments. And the atmosphere is really underrated
I agree with this list, especially for #1. Just rewatching clips of RE7 has me stressed. The only change i would make is RE2 remake personally for me was more scary than RE1 remake but not by much. I think it's something about not wanting to be punched.
Revelations 1 was not scary. It had cartoonish graphics. Rev 2 was scary.. especially the fog part. 7 and 8 were scary. Remake 2 definitely scary. Re4 remake is kinda scary.
@RobertEdwinHouse9 how is it not?? the beginning part with the lycans swarming you. then the big guy with the hammer runs up on you and you think its over. when Heisenberg drops you down that tunnel chained up and you hear the lycans in the background and dont know what is going to happen. then you have that saw that's trying to kill you and dont know what to do at first. Then the creep baby, the creepy dolls. The sisters that can randomly spawn on you. The creepy dolls that follow you when you arent looking at them.
The OG Resident Evil scene with the slow turning zombie gave me Nightmares as a Kid. This and Silent Hill were masterpieces back in the days, giving so many kids traumas lol.
RE7 is definitly the scariest of them all, but the Beneviento house in Village is easily the scariest section in the series, and one of the most soiled pants inducing sections in video games history. That fucking baby still haunt my dreams to this day 🥲🥶
If Village had the constant unsettling tension that the doll house segment presented throughout the entire game, I would tie it with 7. 7 however keeps that horror tension throughout the majority of the game
I first played Resident Evil back when the remake for 1 was released on GameCube. The crimson heads and Lisa Trevor gave me nightmares in the best way possible.
Everyone gangster until i tell people that resident evil 3 remake gave me one of the most monumental jumpscares (i didn't jump though i jolted backwards hard) Bloody Nemesis (i knew he was around a corner ) and he came round the corner so bloody fast and attacked me it's like he was already in my face and attacked me while charging round the corner and made me ABSOLUTELY SURPRISED 😂😂
i swear to god i cannot stay in a room with the goddamn grandmother from RE7, shes just terrifying even though i know she wont do anything. just having her in the corner of the room, or in the hallway chilling as i pass by is just so unsettling. even more than having the mom or the dad roaming
I’ve never actually beaten a Resident Evil game, only played them for a couple hours at most. The other day I saw a sale going on and decided my first ever Resident Evil game that I will play to completion would be Resident Evil 7. I just beat Marguerite and I’m going to the wrecked ship. I think I’m going to die.
@@funmylife9248 I just beat the game last night. I thought I was going straight from Marguerite to the wrecked ship. Needless to say I was pretty surprised by Lucas’s entire section.
Resident evil 4 og still has tank controls, in fact, they used tank conrrols up until 5 or 6. Move analog stick up to go forward, down to move backwards, left or right to turn in that direction. They used these controls up until 5 and 6.
Resident Evil 6 is the scariest for one simple reason: Playing it feels so great it triggers my Tanatophobia, because then I remember that one day I'll die and I'll never get to play it again.
I agree no other game in the series has had as much consistent horror and unsettling atmosphere than 7. I will say 8 has the single scariest section in the series with House Beneviento, but sadly the horror peaks very early in the game and the rest of it just doesn’t really compare to that portion. Fun gameplay and good story developments but the horror is very inconsistent and felt like a theme park for different styles of it.
biohazard is like the 2nd or 3rd scariest game ive ever played ever, and the scariest ive ever played in the RE series, but re2 remake made my heart race the most bc of the chase scenes
Resident Evil Village is an amazing game. I don't know why it seems to be among the most disliked RE games. The game is visually stunning. I don't mean the graphics here, i mean the surroundings e.g. the castle are beautiful. Art style is the closest word i can come up for it. The only reason I can figure out why it's so disliked among RE fans is that some fans are very into the lore and the lore aspect is the weakest link of RE Village.
Village is definitely one of my favorites in the series. I appreciate what it brought to the table, but yeah, the lore and its links to the rest of the franchise aren't the strongest with this game
Because people keep comparing it to 4, i mean the similarities are undeniable but they are very surface level, gameplay wise its much more similar to 7, they also hate that the game has variety in its gameplay, (i thought it was one of its biggest strengths), people the game to be the same thing the entire time otherwise they say it has an identity crisis, they also made the mistake of hyping up lady d to the moon and they refuse to admit its their faults for hyping her to death
I like the game, but the best part is the beginning village and castle. The doll house is terrifying on your first playthrough, but it's just straight up annoying on a replay. The pacing and tone varies wildly from area to area. It just seems to lack focus, especially as a direct sequel to 7.
I don't think it was scary at all. 2 and 3 remake on the other hand gave me panic attacks. I play with headphones on for all three. I feel like 7 was so ridiculously stupid to be scary and not Resident evil. Hillbillies...!? come on
The original resident evil 4 not only revolutionized the rest of the franchise, but also the gaming industry as a whole. Almost every 3rd person game we can think of wouldn't be the same without RE4. Resident evil 7 is a banger too, scary as fuq
RE7 was my first RE game because I had gotten a PSVR and wanted to play a horror game with it, RE7 seemed to be the best option. I played RE7 at night in VR while my parents were out for the weekend, and I happened to wear a white shirt somewhat similar to Ethan's. All of that combined made RE7 feel like a real life event rather than a gaming experience, it helped a lot that the game takes place over 1 night and is 8 hours long, so when I pulled an all nighter to beat the game for the first time it worked perfectly, the sun rised both in game and irl. Most people say RE7 wasn't nearly the best RE game, but to me it is
Village is my first look at resident evil and honestly it’s the most interested I’ve been in gaming for years. The baby scene is obviously scary but heisenbergs factory is a melting pot of jump scares and boss fights
I usually don't get scared playing RE...spooked or surprised. But man...the Mr. X footsteps in his trenchcoated menacing persistence haunted me until I killed him.
What makes Biohazard is the most scariest of them all, it because of Eveline. Don't you forget, the Baker family was controlled by Eveline. I think Eveline is the most scariest and strongest creature among all RE franchise. For me, she not the creature but the demon.
I feel 7 and 8 are like two sides to a coin when it comes to scariness. So with 7 the game is generally scary throughout with the exception for me being the part where you play Mia where it’s just not scary at all but still enjoyable gameplay. But then with 8 I love the gameplay with the entire game even though most of it isn’t really scary but the house Beneviento is definitely one of if not the scariest sequence in the entire series so far. Of course all this being just my opinion but I also want to say I’m surprised for a video being about the scariness in the RE series, the Beneviento sequence was barely mentioned. But still a great video with great insight and I found your placement of the rankings to be generally close with my personal placement.
Facts RE8 should've been top 3 not just because of house Beneviento but also because of the atmosphere and the stalker enemies. Also I think the variety of enemies is morbid in this game. You go from Insane Lycans to Zombified servants of castle dimitrescu to messed up amalgamations of flesh and machine. It's just messed up.
@@lexicardwell9636 True. I meant barely mentioned but yeah he does but for a video talking about the scariness in the RE series it’s just surprising this part was basically an honorable mention rather than the main focus for the part on RE8 but in the end I would rather have that than not at all. Good catch. Thank you
It's properly a treat when youve been a fan of RE for just over 20 years now since the original Neme3is was my first game finished. In order since then - Zero (GC) , REmake (GC) , RE2 (GC 2nd time around) , RE4 classic (GC) , Code Veronica X (GC) , Revelations (x360) , RE5 gold (X360) , Revelations2 (X360) & RE6 (X360). For me , altho REmake & 4 are horror standouts , the ones that really were set in stone were Zero , Veronica & Revelations for their ruthless item managements and the fact THAT puts you on edge. I also give myself a goldstar for loving the intertwined arcs thru 6.
Forest... in RE1 Remake Take what made the Crimson Heads bad enough; & strap one of them, with enough explosives to blow the whole damn Mansion, add in the moaning & rattling of this Zombie's gear, & the 1 shot 1 boom, have that chase you throughout the Spencer Estate... And you have 1 of the most tense, jump scare moments of all the Res Evils - because it became a matter of, how do you get rid of something you can't even shoot or fight back against!?
Great list. As long as RE2 remake was at 3 and Resident Evil GC Remake and RE7 were 1/2 (either order) I'd agree. Though, Code Veronica, back in the day, had some amazing lighting and scared the hell out of me.
There is more than a personal interpretation, there are also several types of fear. Anxiety, a fear of anticipation, which will be brought about by the staging and the rhythm. Stress, which will be brought on by the present situation and the need to act quickly and well. Both will be perceived as fear by our brain (accelerated heart rate, hyper focus). Some Resident Evil are more stressful than others, some more distressing, but as such, i consider the introduction of RE7 particularly balanced and successful (but unfortunately not the rest, in my opinion). I'm French, so i hope i'm using the right terms and i doubt it's psychologically correct, but it will illustrate the idea I hope.
I feel resident evil should split in to 3-4 "factions" 1: the classic RE horror formula 2: the newer FPS formula 3: the more cinematic duo formula like RE 5 and 6 (With less QTE tho) 4: personally i really liked the formula of Operation racoon city, and the new perspective of playing the Umbrella contractors was a cool twist and the characters were interesting
Re2 remake is the scariest in my opinion. Mr X, The lickers, the one shot sewer monsters, the plant things, hell even just the normal zombies in the early game had me pausing for a glass of water
None of them are scary. Beneviento house was good, but it only lasted few minutes. Village with sexy vampires and well lit areas was a good take, but solely missed on it's purpose.
I remembered i played RE7 in one sitting while streaming the entire time to my group of friends. It was our "horror movie night" and it was amazing. Im normally a massive bitch when it comes to horror movies/games, but i genuinely enjoyed this one
@funmylife9248 The fact that i can actually fight back and kill things and rely on my own reaction/gunplay! Lots of horror games just make you run away or have nothing to retaliate, making me feel helpless
i genuinely love when ppl stream games or i get to stream games i play, its fr better than everyone watching something together 😭😭😭 cus its interactive
@@dianapica462 omg same, I am considering buying resident evil 7 on my pc to stream on discord with my group of friends, because I tried to play this alone on the ps but I'm a coward and dropped it
Awesome video. Re7 definitely deserves the top spot. You mentioned playing village in vr. Have you played Madison vr yet? Never have I felt close to that level of dread in any game.
Ah yes. One of the series on my “Top 10 Horror game series I want to play but never will play because I’m a horror wimp” list. It’s at the #1 spot just in front of the Silent Hill series. The Dead Space series was in 3rd…but I’ve played Dead Space 1 and started Dead Space 2 so I’ve removed it from my list.
I’ve been a gigantic fan of everything horror since I was 7 years old, I’ve seen tons of scary shit, but I felt like throwing up within 10 minutes of playing re7. Something about the eerie atmosphere immediately made me so uneasy and it took me a year to finally pick it up and play it again. I had to play it in sections over a week because it kept giving me that feeling like I had to vomit, and the amount of times I got scared and shaky was unbelievable. Got me feeling like a kindergartener pissing his pants lol. But it’s definitely one of my favorite games I’ve ever played, it’s seriously a work of art.
Resident evil 1 scared me a lot the first time I played it and I played that one as an adult so it wins for me the directors cut is my favorite out of the og resident evils
Yeah, I was not expecting it to be THAT freaky. Then again, I was around 8 when I played the first one. I loved the director's cut and especially the remake
I love resident evil and horror is my favorite genree but i never found re scarry. Only scarry part for me was baby in 8 and maybe first regenerator in 4 just because the sound he produces.
The real winner here is the resident evil remastered considering it was first released 2002. Its graphics still holds up to now and the jumpscares is still one of the best survival horror considering its time. The only thing some of these titles have against it are the more realistic graphics like 7&8 and the other remakes. I just gotta say though, one of the scariest encounter i had with RE franchise (idk if y'all agree) was the mimicry marcus of RE zero. Like i literally had a heart attack that after i got killed by it, i was stunned for like a minute before i continued playing. The BGM too while encountering it was just horrifying.
@@Dwaxxx Not scary at all aside from the baby. Capcom even stated that they had to tone down the horror they put into Re7 because people thought it was "too scary" (it's a horror game for Christ sake 🙄). I personally didn't like most of Re8, I liked the setting and that's about it.
Scariest moments for me were the house of beneviento, remake 4's regenerators/Iron Maiden's, remake 2's Mr. X, and Remake 1's crimson heads, RE 7's Margret fight. All great games. Love this series.
I need to play RE7 on one day, to make my own opinion on it. I'm just not a fan of first person camera and it feels that alot of the horror comes from stalker enemies and running away. A lot of modern horror games just give you minimal defence and big monsteres chasing you with a chainsaw and one hit kills. But fear of death is not the only thing what really give you deep scares.
I kept watching this horrified to see where Gaiden was going to be placed when it wasn’t in the bottom five, only to be relieved yet slightly disappointed it wasn’t included.
Not gonna lie, I think re2 remake is the scariest. Nothing worse than getting jumped in a hallway with 4 zombies, mr x, and a licker. Also the hostility and deadness of the environment is unmatched
That's a great point! RE2 remake has such a killer first half with the RPD... I think this single area in the game is the most tense area Capcom have crafted for the series yet.
Im sad that you didnt rank Resident Evil The Deadly Silence, i get not including the directors cut as its not that much different but I feel the deadly silence was varied enough to mention a separate entry.
RE7 had the scariest opening out of all of them. After you get past the initial dinner scene though the game lost most of its scare factor for me cause nothing else compared to it. I’d say RE3 nemesis OG was the most I’ve been scared throughout the game. Although I was a kid playing it, now I’m an adult so probably has a lot to do with it. Nice video!
Re7 is basically what a horror game should be. Limited vision, not knowing if you have enough gear for the next section, running into enemies unexpectedly. Its just brilliant
It also forces you to pick your battles, fight smart and scour every room and nook and cranny for every last bullet and herb.

That part is great for the first time. (i'm playing RE since the first one on the PS1, and for the first time i was scared.) That being said the same part is the worse from the replayability factor.
Village is a hard one to rank. It is scary at times, and has the single scariest section in any RE title, ever, but because the game is such a grab bag of ideas, playing almost like an RE Greatest Hits, it also gets goofy and silly at times too, so the scariness levels are all over the place.
And yeah, obviously 7 was going to be in first.
Completely agree 💯
On one hand, you fight a power rangers robot wars battle against a cocky german magneto in a giant mech who trash talks you, and on the other hand, you have to go through a haunted mansion that slowly builds up to a hallucination of a giant fetus that cries and laughs in a dark, red lit hallway, chasing you.
@@thesnatcher3616 Yep, I understand some calling that tonal inconsistency, and they aren't wrong. My impression was that it was designed as Resident Evil greatest hits collection, with the wildly different sections recalling different eras of the franchise, so I kind of interpreted it as a bit of a victory lap for the franchise, while also continuing 7's direction of telling a story with more personal stakes.

2. RE2 Remake
3. RE1 Remake
4. RE4 Remake and Original (equally scary in different ways for me)
5. RE2 original

Imho RE4 (both the original and the remake) is not a quiet kind of scary like classic RE games, but a loud and hectic type of scary. Players constantly get ganked by a mob of parasite-infested-cultists, in which they need to pay attention to their positioning and decide which gun is best used for the moment (while paying attention to the amount of ammos in the inventory).
The Beneviento house was the scariest moment of all franchise in my opinion
Absolutely 💯
For me, it was the scarlet part of any game period. Such a perfect build-up of dread that starts as soon as you enter the foggy grounds before the manor with the mia hallucinations. It also has a great payoff with the fetus and red lit halls. There are so many little things as well that add to it, like the picture of the woman laying down that falls to make her look like she was hung and the quiet scream from Ethan after collecting the fuse. It was perfect like he was trying to hold it but just couldn't. It's also more personal given that the hallucination was tied to Ethans' fear of what Rose might become when put back together and the small bit of Donna we actually see is so eerie right before she picks up Angie again.
(TLDR- The Beneviento manner was damn near perfect, and I just felt like gushing about it.)
Definitely but village unfortunately has only one scary area. That is why village is a highly disappointing game. Not to mention, the game gives you too much shit in hand and at that point I looked back on how 4 actually was and I can confirm that the game was only popular because of Lady Dimitrescu.
Before the remake of 4 I even wondered if it was even possible to use currency for a resident evil game. While I do think so now, it almost felt impossible.
RE7 was my first RE game and yep it was pretty scary the first time i played it though now because of it I got though all the numbered RE games without issue and even platium each one.
Congrats on platinuming them all! Which was your favorite plat?
@@funmylife9248 i'd have to say 7 it was the first time I really got into horror games and getting the unlock weapons and beating my time in the story was just fun since it was all new to me.
@@TheDragon97king Awesome to hear. RE7 is easily one of my favorite RE games
I just finished alien isolation and I must ask it it sort of like resident evil 7?
@@SeanSkalak-kk9iyKind of, yeah.
I had so much fun playing RE7. I bought it at Walmart on its release date about six minutes after midnight, went right home, popped it in, and I'm pretty sure I stayed up until around 6 in the morning playing that game. It was truly unrelenting; they really pulled out all the stops with RE7 and I just couldn't put it down. Truly a brilliant and scary game that will stick in my mind forever.
I played the lot before RE7 and it was a return to form in the horror department. It is to me the most frightening game. While there are plenty of cheap jumpscares, there is plenty of substantive qualities to the game that make it genuinely difficult to play at times during a first playthrough. The family and enemies are terrifying for one. Being stalked by Jack is the scariest thing in the entire franchise to me. First playthrough I was on edge even after killing Jack, being totally unsure that he was actually dead. Not to mention the atmosphere is far and away the scariest, though the Gothic and Victorian elements of RE1 and RE Village also make a great scene. Everything on the property is in complete disarray and completely filthy. Little things like that go a long way in showing the depravity of the family and how unpredictable they are, whereas in a game like RE1 and RE2 there is still some order in the surrounding environment.
“Resident Evil Village” was the first “Resident Evil” game I played. The baby in House Beneviento really terrified me.

@@SunScroll999 I have a PS4.
The only thing I hated in re7 was the boat with Mia and the end boss could’ve been better also the enemy variety should’ve been more and Lucas part should been better but I still loved it.
Literally the only issues I had with the game as well. Otherwise, it's a heck of a good game
Man I thought I was the only who thought the game dropped off as soon as you get to the ship. That’s literally the only part of the game I can’t stand.
That´s half of the game, which is why it is horsedung in my opinion and absolutely overrated. Started strong, ended poor.
RE1 Remake would have been scarier if it had a stalker enemy, but I still think it's the scariest one in the series. I even think it might be the best Resident Evil game overall.
I’ve played it many times and I’m still always on edge when I play it. Totally agree
fixed Cam resident evil is not scary at all
Easily the scariest. I know a lot of people aren't too fond of static camera angles, tank controls, and finite resources anymore, but the fixed cinematic camera angles, slow deliberate movements, and knowing that you really can screw yourself by using too many resources really do make for tension that the newer ones just can't do anymore. Fighting waves of enemies with enough firepower to conquer a small country knowing each enemy is dropping more resources than you spent to kill them is fun and can be scary, but nothing tops going into a new room with a handgun and only three bullets left, and hearing a zombie moaning out of sight or god-forbid a sound you've never heard before.
Re 4 remake and Re 2 Remake is way better overall. Youre literally blinded by nostalgia.
@jackjax7921 If I was blinded by nostalgia, I would have picked the original RE2, RE3, and RE4. I played those way before. I had a PS2 around the time RE1 Remake was released, so I didn't get a chance to play it back then until they released the HD Remaster version.
Agree with your top 2. I feel they are basically tied.
Yeah, they definitely belong there on the list 💯
There will be a lot of games, but no one will make me jumpscare more than re 2 original (I was like 10 or 11 years old when I played and it traumatized me in some events). Re4 original too, the way the people attacked and flanked you was so stressful and horrific. Now that everything has evolved, the new games stress me more than scare. After the first dead space, it was hard to be amazed by a scary situation (I haven't played re7 and village, so I'll try both once I get some money.
I really think people sleep on how scary RE4 was the first time around, I think it's been replayed too many times and is too much in the cultural aether or whatever, I actually would place it third after 7 and REmake in terms of how scary it is. The amount of times you see discussion of RE4 devolve into "debating" whether it is an action game or a horror game is also really annoying
first encounter with the chainsaw man, the regenerators(which are the scariest enemy in the entire franchise and nothing really comes close imo), the garradors, solo Ashley section, going back to the village during the storm/first encounter with the wolves, Verdugo, it's only really parts of the island section that go off the rails, and even then there's still some creepy moments. And the atmosphere is really underrated
RE8 House Beneviento section is scarier than all of the other games put together.
Pretty much 😂
I agree with this list, especially for #1. Just rewatching clips of RE7 has me stressed. The only change i would make is RE2 remake personally for me was more scary than RE1 remake but not by much. I think it's something about not wanting to be punched.
😂Yeah Mr X is a beast
Revelations 1 was not scary. It had cartoonish graphics. Rev 2 was scary.. especially the fog part. 7 and 8 were scary. Remake 2 definitely scary. Re4 remake is kinda scary.
None of the RE games scared me except Rev1
@RobertEdwinHouse9 how is it not?? the beginning part with the lycans swarming you. then the big guy with the hammer runs up on you and you think its over. when Heisenberg drops you down that tunnel chained up and you hear the lycans in the background and dont know what is going to happen. then you have that saw that's trying to kill you and dont know what to do at first. Then the creep baby, the creepy dolls. The sisters that can randomly spawn on you. The creepy dolls that follow you when you arent looking at them.
okay revelations 1 was scary
@@ThaRealERAQsorry twelvie but big goofy wolf monster isnt enough to shake the average adult male
@RobertEdwinHouse9 Ok tough guy.
The OG Resident Evil scene with the slow turning zombie gave me Nightmares as a Kid. This and Silent Hill were masterpieces back in the days, giving so many kids traumas lol.
RE7 is definitly the scariest of them all, but the Beneviento house in Village is easily the scariest section in the series, and one of the most soiled pants inducing sections in video games history. That fucking baby still haunt my dreams to this day 🥲🥶
Yes, the baby was the worst I. I swear I was gonna have a panic attack every time I played that part of the game and I'd best the game 4 times.
Reading this comment, now I can hear that music in my head from when you first see it. That is truly an unforgettable Resident Evil moment.
If Village had the constant unsettling tension that the doll house segment presented throughout the entire game, I would tie it with 7. 7 however keeps that horror tension throughout the majority of the game
Agreed. 7 absolutely nailed the horror throughout the game
I first played Resident Evil back when the remake for 1 was released on GameCube. The crimson heads and Lisa Trevor gave me nightmares in the best way possible.
Really like the RE1 remake. Such an awesome remake!
Everyone gangster until i tell people that resident evil 3 remake gave me one of the most monumental jumpscares (i didn't jump though i jolted backwards hard)
Bloody Nemesis (i knew he was around a corner ) and he came round the corner so bloody fast and attacked me it's like he was already in my face and attacked me while charging round the corner and made me ABSOLUTELY SURPRISED 😂😂
😂 He can definitely surprise you with his speed!
I also got scared, but it was just the zombies about 4 different times
i swear to god i cannot stay in a room with the goddamn grandmother from RE7, shes just terrifying even though i know she wont do anything. just having her in the corner of the room, or in the hallway chilling as i pass by is just so unsettling. even more than having the mom or the dad roaming
I definitely feel that the Revelations game should've been higher in the list, there is just something very special about those games.
I’ve never actually beaten a Resident Evil game, only played them for a couple hours at most. The other day I saw a sale going on and decided my first ever Resident Evil game that I will play to completion would be Resident Evil 7. I just beat Marguerite and I’m going to the wrecked ship. I think I’m going to die.
You're almost done!
@@funmylife9248 I just beat the game last night. I thought I was going straight from Marguerite to the wrecked ship. Needless to say I was pretty surprised by Lucas’s entire section.
Resident evil 4 og still has tank controls, in fact, they used tank conrrols up until 5 or 6. Move analog stick up to go forward, down to move backwards, left or right to turn in that direction. They used these controls up until 5 and 6.
That's correct. They stopped the tank controls at 6
The Regenerators from RE4 gave me nightmares when I first played it..
Iron Maidens in the remake are some of the most stressful moments of the series.
Damn I’m surprised this doesn’t have more views. Your commentary is great
Resident Evil 6 is the scariest for one simple reason: Playing it feels so great it triggers my Tanatophobia, because then I remember that one day I'll die and I'll never get to play it again.
That's a glowing review!
I bought the extra joystick accessory just for re mercenaries because I loved 6 and that was the closest portable thing I got
Nice! I played Mercenaries 3D with the 3DSXL and loved the game
@@funmylife9248 good to hear I'm not the only one
I agree no other game in the series has had as much consistent horror and unsettling atmosphere than 7. I will say 8 has the single scariest section in the series with House Beneviento, but sadly the horror peaks very early in the game and the rest of it just doesn’t really compare to that portion. Fun gameplay and good story developments but the horror is very inconsistent and felt like a theme park for different styles of it.
biohazard is like the 2nd or 3rd scariest game ive ever played ever, and the scariest ive ever played in the RE series, but re2 remake made my heart race the most bc of the chase scenes
Heyy what were the other games you thought were most scary?
Resident Evil Village is an amazing game. I don't know why it seems to be among the most disliked RE games.
The game is visually stunning. I don't mean the graphics here, i mean the surroundings e.g. the castle are beautiful. Art style is the closest word i can come up for it.
The only reason I can figure out why it's so disliked among RE fans is that some fans are very into the lore and the lore aspect is the weakest link of RE Village.
Village is definitely one of my favorites in the series. I appreciate what it brought to the table, but yeah, the lore and its links to the rest of the franchise aren't the strongest with this game
Because people keep comparing it to 4, i mean the similarities are undeniable but they are very surface level, gameplay wise its much more similar to 7, they also hate that the game has variety in its gameplay, (i thought it was one of its biggest strengths), people the game to be the same thing the entire time otherwise they say it has an identity crisis, they also made the mistake of hyping up lady d to the moon and they refuse to admit its their faults for hyping her to death
@@slaviclad9705 Preach!
I like the game, but the best part is the beginning village and castle. The doll house is terrifying on your first playthrough, but it's just straight up annoying on a replay. The pacing and tone varies wildly from area to area. It just seems to lack focus, especially as a direct sequel to 7.
I don't think anyone would ever question RE7 as the scariest game.
It’s not even close
re7 is a joke compared to outlast
I don't think it was scary at all. 2 and 3 remake on the other hand gave me panic attacks. I play with headphones on for all three. I feel like 7 was so ridiculously stupid to be scary and not Resident evil. Hillbillies...!? come on
@@xIem0nOutlast is trash.
REmake is basically tied for me.
I like how my first Resident Evil game i played was Re7 and I somehow completed it when I'm often scared of horror games...
The original resident evil 4 not only revolutionized the rest of the franchise, but also the gaming industry as a whole. Almost every 3rd person game we can think of wouldn't be the same without RE4. Resident evil 7 is a banger too, scary as fuq
RE7 was my first RE game because I had gotten a PSVR and wanted to play a horror game with it, RE7 seemed to be the best option. I played RE7 at night in VR while my parents were out for the weekend, and I happened to wear a white shirt somewhat similar to Ethan's. All of that combined made RE7 feel like a real life event rather than a gaming experience, it helped a lot that the game takes place over 1 night and is 8 hours long, so when I pulled an all nighter to beat the game for the first time it worked perfectly, the sun rised both in game and irl. Most people say RE7 wasn't nearly the best RE game, but to me it is
Village is my first look at resident evil and honestly it’s the most interested I’ve been in gaming for years. The baby scene is obviously scary but heisenbergs factory is a melting pot of jump scares and boss fights
I usually don't get scared playing RE...spooked or surprised. But man...the Mr. X footsteps in his trenchcoated menacing persistence haunted me until I killed him.
Yeah, those footsteps are the scariest part of RE2R
What makes Biohazard is the most scariest of them all, it because of Eveline. Don't you forget, the Baker family was controlled by Eveline. I think Eveline is the most scariest and strongest creature among all RE franchise. For me, she not the creature but the demon.
That big baby blob in village literally made me jump out my skin and gave me the heeby jebezs trying to run from it😂😂😂
I feel 7 and 8 are like two sides to a coin when it comes to scariness. So with 7 the game is generally scary throughout with the exception for me being the part where you play Mia where it’s just not scary at all but still enjoyable gameplay. But then with 8 I love the gameplay with the entire game even though most of it isn’t really scary but the house Beneviento is definitely one of if not the scariest sequence in the entire series so far. Of course all this being just my opinion but I also want to say I’m surprised for a video being about the scariness in the RE series, the Beneviento sequence was barely mentioned. But still a great video with great insight and I found your placement of the rankings to be generally close with my personal placement.
Facts RE8 should've been top 3 not just because of house Beneviento but also because of the atmosphere and the stalker enemies. Also I think the variety of enemies is morbid in this game. You go from Insane Lycans to Zombified servants of castle dimitrescu to messed up amalgamations of flesh and machine. It's just messed up.
he actually did mention house Beneviento at 18:47
@@lexicardwell9636 True. I meant barely mentioned but yeah he does but for a video talking about the scariness in the RE series it’s just surprising this part was basically an honorable mention rather than the main focus for the part on RE8 but in the end I would rather have that than not at all. Good catch. Thank you
i didnt even know there was 25 games. I thought it was just resident evil 0 - 8
The series has quite a bit of spinoffs!
It's properly a treat when youve been a fan of RE for just over 20 years now since the original Neme3is was my first game finished. In order since then - Zero (GC) , REmake (GC) , RE2 (GC 2nd time around) , RE4 classic (GC) , Code Veronica X (GC) , Revelations (x360) , RE5 gold (X360) , Revelations2 (X360) & RE6 (X360).
For me , altho REmake & 4 are horror standouts , the ones that really were set in stone were Zero , Veronica & Revelations for their ruthless item managements and the fact THAT puts you on edge. I also give myself a goldstar for loving the intertwined arcs thru 6.
I've been scrolling for 3 mins, and i haven't seen one comment that has a problem with re7 at the top
RE2 and 3 remake with headphones on full blast in the dark is easily the most intense and anxiety inducing experience one could ask for
Forest... in RE1 Remake
Take what made the Crimson Heads bad enough; & strap one of them, with enough explosives to blow the whole damn Mansion, add in the moaning & rattling of this Zombie's gear, & the 1 shot 1 boom, have that chase you throughout the Spencer Estate...
And you have 1 of the most tense, jump scare moments of all the Res Evils - because it became a matter of, how do you get rid of something you can't even shoot or fight back against!?
Re7s dlcs where ny get backs at each of the bakers. Especially the punchy grandpa dlc
Putting biohazard at number 1 was make or break for me regarding the list
Great list. As long as RE2 remake was at 3 and Resident Evil GC Remake and RE7 were 1/2 (either order) I'd agree. Though, Code Veronica, back in the day, had some amazing lighting and scared the hell out of me.
There is more than a personal interpretation, there are also several types of fear. Anxiety, a fear of anticipation, which will be brought about by the staging and the rhythm. Stress, which will be brought on by the present situation and the need to act quickly and well. Both will be perceived as fear by our brain (accelerated heart rate, hyper focus). Some Resident Evil are more stressful than others, some more distressing, but as such, i consider the introduction of RE7 particularly balanced and successful (but unfortunately not the rest, in my opinion).
I'm French, so i hope i'm using the right terms and i doubt it's psychologically correct, but it will illustrate the idea I hope.
I feel resident evil should split in to 3-4 "factions"
1: the classic RE horror formula
2: the newer FPS formula
3: the more cinematic duo formula like RE 5 and 6 (With less QTE tho)
4: personally i really liked the formula of Operation racoon city, and the new perspective of playing the Umbrella contractors was a cool twist and the characters were interesting
Revelations 1&2 are the most underrated in the franchise.
So true...
Just started playing RE 7 today, my first RE game since the first one. Already feel the difference between playing big open world games to this.
Re2 remake is the scariest in my opinion. Mr X, The lickers, the one shot sewer monsters, the plant things, hell even just the normal zombies in the early game had me pausing for a glass of water
It's definitely up there!
7 was amazing. The atmosphere was insane. And those damn noises in the house made me so paranoid.
💯
I played a few of these at 9 years old... Including Dead Aim. That one scared the crap out of me.
The only game that scared me was re4, but that’s because I played it as a kid. I was so proud of myself for beating it and not chickening out
Good job!

The Dead Space series was in 3rd…but I’ve played Dead Space 1 and started Dead Space 2 so I’ve removed it from my list.

@@funmylife9248 Sure, but later.
I’ve been a gigantic fan of everything horror since I was 7 years old, I’ve seen tons of scary shit, but I felt like throwing up within 10 minutes of playing re7. Something about the eerie atmosphere immediately made me so uneasy and it took me a year to finally pick it up and play it again. I had to play it in sections over a week because it kept giving me that feeling like I had to vomit, and the amount of times I got scared and shaky was unbelievable. Got me feeling like a kindergartener pissing his pants lol. But it’s definitely one of my favorite games I’ve ever played, it’s seriously a work of art.
Resident evil 1 scared me a lot the first time I played it and I played that one as an adult so it wins for me the directors cut is my favorite out of the og resident evils
Yeah, I was not expecting it to be THAT freaky. Then again, I was around 8 when I played the first one. I loved the director's cut and especially the remake
I love resident evil and horror is my favorite genree but i never found re scarry. Only scarry part for me was baby in 8 and maybe first regenerator in 4 just because the sound he produces.
Yep, I think a lot would agree with that. RE has some great atmosphere, but it largely misses the mark on horror
Play dead space trilogy
You forgot Resident Evil: Gaiden, but overall a fun video.
The real winner here is the resident evil remastered considering it was first released 2002. Its graphics still holds up to now and the jumpscares is still one of the best survival horror considering its time. The only thing some of these titles have against it are the more realistic graphics like 7&8 and the other remakes.
I just gotta say though, one of the scariest encounter i had with RE franchise (idk if y'all agree) was the mimicry marcus of RE zero. Like i literally had a heart attack that after i got killed by it, i was stunned for like a minute before i continued playing. The BGM too while encountering it was just horrifying.

@@slaviclad9705slurs as critic? Unvalid opinion
The baby in RE8 was the scariest moment I’ve had in a video game. I screamed bloody murder when I saw it crawl from the dark.
Scariest moments for me were the house of beneviento, remake 4's regenerators/Iron Maiden's, remake 2's Mr. X, and Remake 1's crimson heads, RE 7's Margret fight. All great games. Love this series.
Re7 is the only RE I've played and i loved it. The ship part was pretty painful though
Yeah I totally agree that the ship part towards the end was easily the worst part
Classic Resident Evil 2 is the scariest. Especially the police department with The Front Hall theme.
The OG RE2 soundtrack is still my favorite of them all
Having to use Windows Live for Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City in 2024 is scary af!
Yeah, for real...
I need to play RE7 on one day, to make my own opinion on it. I'm just not a fan of first person camera and it feels that alot of the horror comes from stalker enemies and running away. A lot of modern horror games just give you minimal defence and big monsteres chasing you with a chainsaw and one hit kills. But fear of death is not the only thing what really give you deep scares.
Couldn’t agree more on this list and your Silent Hill list! 👌👌
Can you do this with SH (if you've played them)
Absolutely! Was just thinking about it after Silent Hill 2 remake dropped
Of the ones i played:
1 (remaster) > 7 > 2 (remake) > 3 (remake) > 6 > 4 > 5
From scariest to least scary.
Good list!
U think 6 is scarier than 4?
hey, what about the code veronica series? and resident evil genesis? and gaiden?
Looking back, this list is perfect. There’s not a single slot I would change.
Tyrant in RE2 was a
nightmare😭
For real!
I kept watching this horrified to see where Gaiden was going to be placed when it wasn’t in the bottom five, only to be relieved yet slightly disappointed it wasn’t included.
Not gonna lie, I think re2 remake is the scariest. Nothing worse than getting jumped in a hallway with 4 zombies, mr x, and a licker. Also the hostility and deadness of the environment is unmatched
That doesn't seems scary, seems annoying 😅
That's a great point! RE2 remake has such a killer first half with the RPD... I think this single area in the game is the most tense area Capcom have crafted for the series yet.
@@Viper23859 both 💀💀 sht be pissing me off lmao
I once beat Dead Aim in under 2 hours. I played it like 20 times and memorized the whole layout.
Rented it from blockbusters and beat it in 4 or 5 hours, single non-stop play session. I never bought it or went back to it but I enjoyed my time.
I remember my best time was 1:37 I was damn proud
I would say top 1 and 2 are Re 7 and Revelations 2. Then it get less scary for my experience. Village has only 1 scary part really. But I don't know.
Im sad that you didnt rank Resident Evil The Deadly Silence, i get not including the directors cut as its not that much different but I feel the deadly silence was varied enough to mention a separate entry.
RE7 at one makes so much sense! I may be biased because it’s my favorite but it delivered everywhere I needed it to, it deserves the spot it got!
RE7 had the scariest opening out of all of them. After you get past the initial dinner scene though the game lost most of its scare factor for me cause nothing else compared to it. I’d say RE3 nemesis OG was the most I’ve been scared throughout the game. Although I was a kid playing it, now I’m an adult so probably has a lot to do with it. Nice video!
Yeah, RE7's opening was freaky AF! I agree that the OG RE3 nailed the tension with those Nemesis moments.
i not played ada dlc or seen it but why did they change her to get infected
I think to just give it so urgency. Her infection smartly sets up the confrontation with "IT", the cut boss from the original game.
re7 is my personal favourite so delighted with this list 👍
Great to see some RE7 love!
