Resident Evil is a franchise that in recent years has had a commercial and critical boom as has rarely been seen during these years, since although in the generation of PS3 and Xbox 360 after the sixth numbered installment and some spin-offs of dubious quality it seemed that the saga was going downhill and without brakes, the situation was reversed from Resident Evil VIIplacing the saga as one of the most relevant globally.
