Why Resident Evil is the quintessential series for Halloween and beyond
The Resident Evil series is often considered to be the pinnacle of survival horror games, and for good reason.
Many of them are extremely polished, atmospheric, enjoyable titles that veer back and forth between keeping you up at night with their nightmare-inducing monsters to providing cathartic power rushes as a reward for mastering their resource management and combat mechanics.
Out of all the games in this post, the most plot-relevant ones are Resident Evil HD Remaster and the Resident Evil Remake Trilogy, as their stories help set the stage for Raccoon City's ruined state in Resident Evil: Requiem.
Resident Evil HD Remaster may be a remaster of 2002 remake, but this game still holds up even after 23 years for boasting some of the most beautiful, gothic pre-rendered backgrounds, perfectly-paced gameplay, and terrifying moments that will catch you off guard even on repeat playthroughs.
However, if you want something more modern, the Resident Evil Remake trilogy is the way to go.
Each game in this collection will have you quaking in your boots with its adrenaline-pumping scares, scarce resources you will need to be careful not to waste, and memorable characters you will want to help survive the horrors coming to consume them.
While not directly connected to Resident Evil: Requiem (from what we've seen thus far), Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil: Village are still worth playing regardless.
It's an incredible duology of titles that helped kickstart Capcom's redemption arc back into popularity during the late 2010s and early 2020s for their in-depth gameplay, spooky locales rich with secrets, and possibly the best villains in the franchise outside of Albert Wesker.
With these 70-80% discounts for Resident Evil Remake Trilogy ($33.99 at Loaded), Resident Evil 7: Gold Edition ($9.89 at Loaded), Resident Evil HD Remaster ($4.49 at Loaded), and Resident Evil Village: Gold Edition ($13.99 at Newegg), you will save dozens of dollars and have months of unforgetteble content to chew on before Resident Evil: Requiem arrives on February 27, 2026.
