In 2017, the Resident Evil series surprised us all with a first-person horrorfest in the form of Resident Evil 7. Pairing back the Hollywood-style action of RE6, it managed to be both a return to form and a path forward. Its follow-up, Resident Evil Village, continued the story ofEthan Winters, but upped both the scale and action.

Village hews a bit closer to the feel and pace of Resident Evil 4, but there’s no denying that stalking the halls of the dilapidated Baker residence in Resident Evil 7 is one hell of a memorable experience. Just, I dunno, maybe do it while the sun is still up? The scares and haunted feelings you’ll get from this one are a fright to behold.
