Chronological orderThe greatest survival horror game ever made — RE2's dual protagonist system, the Raccoon City Police Department, and the relentless Mr. X pursuer combined with two fully interconnected campaigns to create the series peak.
Jill Valentine vs Nemesis — RE3's titular pursuer is an indestructible bioweapon that can appear in any non-safe room at any time, creating the series' most relentless survival horror experience.
