Resident Evil 2 (2019)
After the more action-heavy nature of Resident Evil 5 and 6, Capcom returned to a more terrifying formula with the series, first with Resident Evil 7: biohazard and then with 2019’s Resident Evil 2. The static camera angles were replaced with over-the-shoulder aiming while Mr. X evolved into a more prominent pursuer, encouraging the player to be on alert at almost all times. However, moments like walking down the darkened hallways, listening for the undead and doing your best to evade them, still remained. In terms of evolving the formula while still maintaining its horror focus, Resident Evil 2 was a huge success.
