Resident Evil 6

Although the Resident Evil 6 is a good addition to the series of Resident Evil games, it wasn’t able to get considerable popularity in its user community due to the level of criticism encountered. 

Resident Evil 6 is actually an action-oriented game rather than horror genre as it resumes the story after almost 10 years of first outbroken virus. The game scenario depicts the expansion of everything, whether it is about enemies, set pieces, or explosions; you will experience everything in a bigger frame.

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, released in 2017, is considered one of the best PlayStation Virtual Reality games available on PlayStation 4, PC & Xbox One. Surprisingly, it doesn’t have any zombies, unlike all other entries of Resident Evil games, but still, it is super fantastic & worth playing.
