RE2: fantastic game. police station is absolutely terrifying and visually amazing. other areas not as impressive. bothered a lot by the cut enemies like spiders and crows. Biggest miss is that Claire and Leon barely interact after the opening segment and unwelcome attempted rewriting of Ada's character.

RE3: They fucked this one up so bad. The streets section is visually amazing and the unscripted chase scenes there with Nemesis are awesome and then they do away with that element for the whole rest of the game. they got really lazy with the later areas to the point that some parts look like mods with thrown together assets rather than a AAA capcom game. Most importantly, they cut the fucking CLOCK TOWER which gave the tonal and gameplay shift that kept RE3 anchored as a resident evil game rather than a generic action game. Okayish taken on own merits but a really poor remake of RE3.

RE4: This was an epic game. Not sure if I'd call it survival horror anymore but it was a lot of fun with a massive quest. The weapons are so sick once you fully upgrade them and get the exclusives. Lots of good boss fights.I never finished the original RE4, but my biggest complaint after checking comparisons is that they made some extremely unfortunate dialogue choices and cut all of Leon's best lines. Some of the most misguided script revisions I've ever seen. The shop guy is also pretty immersion-breaking, and accessing storage through the typewriter instead of having physical storage boxes is stupid.

RE Requiem: An absolute gem, almost perfect from start to finish. Only minor negative is that there were parts where Grace's sections could have used a bit more size and complexity for the maps. But her sections were legitimately scary. Leon's sections were a blast. Leon also literally enacts an XO meme by surviving being in a falling train with the "jump before you hit the ground" trick.

Stalled out at the lake chapter in RE4 gamecube. Couldn't adjust to what it had turned into

Played about 1/3 of REmake gamecube. The crimson head mechanic was so fucked

Played a few hours of RE0 gamecube. Game did not grab me

Beat RE5 Xbox 360. At that point it's not RE anymore, it's a generic third person shooter

Never played RE 6.

Playthroughs of RE7 stalled out 1/4 and 1/2 through on PS4 and a reattempt on PC.

Quit RE8 within the first hour.

Now, the unstated logic behind this pattern is that all of the early games were played through with my ex wife. Once we split, I just didn't have the resolve to push through these games alone and didn't enjoy playing them solo (although REmake was a joint attempt defeated by mutual loathing of the crimson heads). I found these games too oppressive to play alone, especially RE7 in particular given the gameplay changes, chase enemies, lack of visually distinct areas, etc.

Then RE Requiem came out and the game was so good and paced so well that there just wasn't a place to stall out at. It comes down 100% to the gameplay switches between Grace and Leon. I wouldn't have made it through a full first person Grace game, but blasting the shit out of everything as Leon every couple of hours broke her sections up enough. Requiem basically restored my love for the series and I finally played through RE2 remake right after, which I probably never would have done without Requiem. And now I'm basically desensitized to these games and kicking the shit out of them. The real test is gonna be whether I finally finish RE7 though.
