Resident Evil 4 was a landmark title that was an influence on titles like Dead Space, Gears of War, and even the Uncharted series.
Even though the games played similarly to Resident 4, they lacked any of the tension and excitement of that game. Resident Evil 5 and 6 were not well received and both games instead decided to focus on blockbuster-style action and set pieces rather than horror. After the massive success of Resident 4, the developers seemed to lose sight of what made gamers fall in love with the series in the first place. It wasn’t that long ago that the Resident Evil series fell out of favor with both the fans and critics alike.
