 3- Leon S. Kennedy's "death" in Resident Evil 2 was a moment that had fans of the series in tears. He was such a beloved character, with his boyish charm and slick hair.

The character was presumed dead after his absence from the series, but when he showed up to help Ethan Winters in the latest instalment, it was a moment of pure joy.

 

 5- Oswell E. Spencer's death in Resident Evil 5 was a satisfying moment for fans of the series. He was a major antagonist, responsible for creating the T-virus that turned the world into a zombie-infested wasteland.

 6- Jill Valentine's transformation into a puppet in Resident Evil 5 was a moment that had fans on the edge of their seats. The character was a beloved member of the series, and seeing her under the control of the enemy was like seeing your favourite weapon jam in the middle of a zombie attack.

 

 7- The reveal of the true mastermind behind the events of Resident Evil 7 was a twist that had fans reeling.

The unexpected reveal added a new layer of depth to the game's story and left fans hungry for more.

 

 8- The final boss battle in Resident Evil 4 was a heart-pumping thrill ride. It was like facing an army of zombies with nothing but a butter knife... only a hundred times more intense. Players had to face a giant mutated creature with multiple forms, making the battle feel like an epic struggle for survival.

 

 9- Mia Winters' death in Resident Evil 7 was a shocker that had fans on the edge of their seats. She was a key ally throughout the game, helping Ethan navigate the horrors of the Baker mansion. When she was killed off, it was like losing your favourite weapon in the middle of a boss battle.
