Resident Evil 2 is a PlayStation survival horror video game released in 1998 by Capcom. The player takes control of Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield, who must escape Raccoon City after its residents are turned into zombies by a biological weapon two months after the events of Resident Evil. The gameplay centers on exploration, puzzles, and battle; the biggest distinction between this game and its predecessor is the branching pathways, with each player character having their own tale, teammates, and difficulties.

Resident Evil 2 was praised for its mood, location, visuals, sounds, situations, general gameplay, and advancements over the previous game, although it was panned for its controls, voice acting, and specific gameplay components. It is widely regarded as one of the finest video games ever created. With over 6 million copies sold across all platforms, it is the best-selling Resident Evil game on a single platform. It was published for Windows, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, and GameCube, as well as a modified 2.5D version for the Game.com portable. Resident Evil 2's tale was recounted and expanded upon in multiple subsequent games, and it has been converted into a number of licensed works.

Ethan Winters is controlled by the player as he seeks his long-missing wife amid a dilapidated plantation populated by an infected family, solving puzzles and fighting foes.

Resident Evil – Code: Veronica is a survival horror video game created and published by Capcom that was first released in 2000 for the Dreamcast. It is a key entry in the Resident Evil series and the first to be released on a platform other than the PlayStation. The plot picks up three months after the events of Resident Evil 2 (1998) and the simultaneous devastation of Raccoon City shown in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (1999). It follows Claire Redfield and her brother Chris Redfield as they attempt to escape a virus epidemic on an isolated prison island in the Southern Ocean and an Antarctic research station.

Resident Evil - Code: Veronica follows the same survival horror formula as previous Resident Evil titles. This features the series' trademark controls, interface, puzzles, and battles with zombies and monsters. In contrast to earlier games in the series, which employed pre-rendered backdrops, Code: Veronica employs real-time 3D landscapes. As a result, the camera in this game is more dynamic than in prior games. Similar to Capcom's Dino Crisis, the camera will follow, pan, and zoom as the player moves their avatar across the landscape (1999). Cinematic CGI sequences and real-time cutscenes tell the plot.

Resident Evil: Revelations is a survival horror video game released in 2012 by Capcom for the Nintendo 3DS portable gaming device. The game features counter-terrorism agents Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield as they struggle to uncover the truth behind a bioterrorist group that wants to poison the Earth's seas with a virus. The game has a single-player mode in which the player must finish a number of episodes including puzzle solving and enemy defeat, as well as a multiplayer option in which players may battle their way through revised single-player settings.

By giving the player limited ammo, health, and movement speed, Revelations prioritizes survival, evasion, and exploration above fast-paced combat. It was intended to bring back the terror and substance of the Resident Evil roots while also attempting to update the gameplay. Outside of Japan, Revelations was also the first game to support the Nintendo 3DS Circle Pad Pro. The game was a moderate financial success and garnered generally favorable critical reviews, with acclaim for its eerie environment, sound design, and presentation.

Capcom developed and released Resident Evil 5, a third-person shooter video game. It is a key installment in the Resident Evil series, and it was revealed in 2005, the same year as its predecessor, Resident Evil 4. Resident Evil 5 was released in March 2009 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms, and in September 2009 for Microsoft Windows. The narrative revolves around Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance agents Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar investigating a terrorist threat in Kijuju, a fictitious province of West Africa. Chris discovers that he must confront his history in the shape of an old adversary, Albert Wesker, and a former colleague, Jill Valentine.

Resident Evil 5's gameplay is similar to the previous iteration, but it is the first in the series built for two-player cooperative gaming. It was also considered the first game in the main series to deviate from the survival horror genre, with critics comparing it to an action game. For the cutscenes, motion capture was employed, and it was the first video game to use a virtual camera system. Several original Resident Evil crew members collaborated on Resident Evil 5.

Resident Evil Zero is a survival horror game released in 2002 for the GameCube by Capcom. It is a precursor to Resident Evil (1996), detailing the adventures of the S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team, an elite police force squad. Officer Rebecca Chambers and inmate Billy Coen investigate an abandoned training center for workers of the pharmaceutical corporation Umbrella in the novel. The gameplay is similar to previous Resident Evil games, but this time you may swap between characters to solve puzzles and employ unique powers.

Resident Evil Zero was created on the Nintendo 64 in 1998. The partner system was designed to make use of the reduced load times made available by the Nintendo 64 Game Pak's capabilities. The cartridge format also had limits, as its storage capacity was far lower than that of a CD-ROM. To save storage space, the team had to approach the design differently than prior series entries. Resident Evil Zero was intended to be more challenging than previous Resident Evil games. Inspired by Sweet Home (1989), the developers ditched the item storage boxes used in previous games in favor of a novel object-dropping function. When the team ran into memory storage issues, development halted, and work was relocated to the newly announced GameCube.

It's the third game in the Resident Evil series, and it takes place practically concurrently with Resident Evil 2. The player takes control of former elite agent Jill Valentine as she flees a virus-infected metropolis.

The game's choices influence how the tale evolves and which conclusion is reached.

Resident Evil 3 was created concurrently with Resident Evil – Code: Veronica as a spin-off with a different protagonist. It was supposed to be more action-oriented than its predecessors, with a greater number of foes for the player to overcome. It also adds Nemesis, a monster inspired by the T-1000 Terminator from the 1991 film Terminator 2: Judgment Day that intermittently chases the player throughout the game. Resident Evil 3 got favorable reviews and sold more than three million copies worldwide, thanks to a large marketing effort. The realistic visuals and Nemesis as an imposing adversary were commended by critics, however, the short duration and plot were panned.
