You can’t talk about Resident Evil without talking about Shinji Mikami - the father of Survival Horror. Whilst he no longer works on the series, his influence can be felt to this day. Not only that, he went on to make a whole new series - The Evil Within.

The Evil Within is a mind-bending journey through a distorted, maniac-fuelled world filled with gore of violence. Its sequel, which is arguably the superior entry, pushes the symbolism and disturbia to the extreme. The Evil Within may share DNA with Resident Evil, but this is no mere retread of the same tropes or ideas.
