Resident Evil is currently back to being a major front-runner for horror games. Following a bit of a rocky road in the early to mid 2000s, developer Capcom made a course correction for Resident Evil with 2017's RE7. From then onward, the series has steadily re-established itself as an industry leader. Many fans are probably familiar with the original Resident Evil creator and director, Shinji Mikami. Mikami was a driving force for RE until 2010, when he left Capcom and formed Tango Gameworks. The next title under his vision with the new studio was the psychological horror/thriller, The Evil Within, in 2014. Naturally, it was compared to RE in many ways, both good and bad.
