Tier List of Resident Evil Co-Op Games

Sure thing, here’s a reimagined version of your Resident Evil article:

Okay, so, Resident Evil. Where do we even start with this beast of a game series? It’s like an epic saga with more twists and turns than a snake in a maze. Some games are gems, and others… well, let’s just say they exist. What keeps me intrigued, though, is how this series has tried all sorts of wild ideas—sometimes nailing it, other times missing the mark. Remember when co-op was all the rage? Good times.

So, back in the day, Capcom leaned into the whole “let’s work together” vibe. But lately, it’s like they ghosted it? Weird, considering fans are basically screaming for more of those co-op shenanigans. Time to dig into the archives and see which Resident Evil games absolutely rocked the co-op world.

### Top Shelf Co-Op Magic

Let’s talk Resident Evil 5 and 6. Not the crowning jewels of the franchise, you might say, and you’d be right! But, guess what? Add a buddy into the mix, and boom—magic happens. Resi 5 takes you to Africa, hunting for Jill Valentine. It’s basically Resi 4 vibes but trying to outdo a masterpiece. Spoiler: it didn’t. Then you’ve got Resi 6—people hated it so much, it sparked a series reboot. Yet in co-op mode? Suddenly, it’s action-packed, clunky perfection. Funny how that works.

### Almost There, But Not Quite

Revelations 2, anyone? Claire Redfield and Moira Burton team up, but Moira has this whole “guns are yuck” stance. So you’ve got Claire pulling the trigger while Moira’s your puzzle-solving, flashlight-wielding sidekick. Not your typical shoot-em-up, but it’s different, ya know? Then there are those Outbreak games—so ahead of their time with online co-op, it’s almost spooky. Lately, folks are buzzing about them again—nostalgia, am I right?

### Middle of the Road

Here’s where things get interesting—or maybe not. Operation Raccoon City feels like a love letter to the era of cover-shooters. It’s okay, I guess. Then there’s The Mercenaries 3D, which honestly feels like squeezing Resident Evil into a 3DS. It’s fun if arcade-style chaos is your thing, but it’s not really nailing the Resident Evil vibe, which kinda bums me out.

### Action Without Thought

Now let’s dive headfirst into the Chronicles. They’re on-rails shooters, which means you’re just blasting away without much story depth. It’s all action, no brain—fun for a bit, sure, but eventually, it’s like plain pasta without sauce. Co-op’s supposed to be more exciting than this!

### Dark Times

Resident Evil Resistance and Umbrella Corps—ah, the infamous duo. Resistance had potential but was ridden with bugs and got ditched way too soon. Umbrella Corps, though… Oof. It’s practically unplayable, scoring some of the worst reviews out there. Even diehard fans couldn’t handle it. Yikes.

So there you have it—a chaotic stroll through the co-op antics of Resident Evil. It’s a mix of highs, lows, and lots of “what were they thinking?” moments. But, heck, that’s what makes it fun, doesn’t it?
