Contrary to popular belief, Capcom's RE engine does not stand for Resident Evil. It stands for Reach to the Moon Engine. This has allowed Capcom to release games that are not only well-optimized but also look great. It included more detailed destruction and stealth environments.

7 Best Capcom Remakes
We go back and explore all the remakes that Capcom has launched over the years. As it turns out, most of them are really good additions to your library.
Of course, the RE engine is used for more than just Resident Evil games. It also features fantasy worlds full of monsters, fighting games, and remakes of other popular zombie games. You can't go wrong with this engine which has been used to make many great titles. So here are ten of the best games that use the RE engine.
10 Resident Evil 3 Remake
Fact-paced zombie action
Resident Evil 3 Remake may not be on the same level as Resident Evil 2 Remake, but it still packs a punch. Even though some bosses and areas are missing from this remake, it's fun to see Jill Valentine in the lead role once again.
The game is also more action-oriented, so if you enjoy the combat aspect of Resident Evil 2 Remake, it offers a more fast-paced experience. In RE Engine, the destruction of Raccoon City is captured in all its glory.
9 Rise of the Demon Hunter
Keeping the spirit of the hunt alive
Monster Hunter Rise was initially a very difficult game to put on the Switch due to the limitations of the console. However, this was also possible with the RE engine. Monster Hunter Rise follows the same gameplay that fans of the franchise have come to know.
This means going after monsters with the hope of getting some cool parts to upgrade your equipment. The game features new creatures as well as some familiar faces. The worlds are also more steeply inclined, requiring players to climb if they want to find the best monsters.
8 Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster
Build on greatness
If you want to see what happens when you replicate an existing Capcom game in the RE engine, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is the perfect example. This title takes over, giving every location, weapon and enemy a graphical overhaul. It also updates some designs.

7 Resident Evil 7
The basis of the RE engine
The first game to use the RE engine gave players a taste of what it could do. Resident Evil took a chance by being a first-person game that starred a new protagonist in the series. As players explore Bau, they will uncover the truth behind what at first glance seems supernatural.
Resident Evil 7 also has VR support which is facilitated by the RE engine. Although this game may be the oldest of the RE Engine games,
6 Resident Evil 2 Remake
The ultimate remake
Resident Evil 2 is the first attempt to reimagine the old Resident Evil title in the RE engine. The game no longer has fixed camera or tank controls, but instead, you play with Resident Evil 4's over-the-shoulder camera style.
This is the first time zombies have been included in an RE Engine game, and they look better and deader than ever. From the desolate halls of the RPD department to the umbrella labs hidden beneath the city, the RE Engine allows Resident Evil 2 Remake to capture Leon and Claire's first adventure while still feeling like its own unique experience.
5 Devil May Cry 5
Bang Bang Devil Trigger
Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 2 Remake are late games when you think about it. Characters move more realistically. So, for the third game to use the RE engine, Devil May Cry 5 offered a challenge to see how fast-paced games could work.

Devil May Cry 5 is probably the best looking Devil May Cry game ever, with a mix of realistic graphics and stylish combat. You can choose between any of the three heroes to take on each mission. Each have their own unique abilities that make hacking and slashing through ghosts a blast.
4 Resident Evil Village
Werewolves and Vampires Galore
Ethan Winters returns to Resident Evil Village. While the game returns to a more action horror playstyle, the visuals feel like a distinct upgrade from Resident Evil 7. This time, Ethan will have to deal with enemies faster than Mold and bigger changes than before.
This means Ethan needs more firepower and more ammunition when trying to save Baby Rose. Swapping the swamps of Louisiana for a snowy European countryside is a great change of pace and the RE engine allows it to look as good as you can imagine.
3 Street Fighter 6
Back to the streets
Street Fighter is one of the most iconic fighting game franchises. Street Fighter 6 takes all the characters to the next level. In addition to having a major graphical overhaul since Street Fighter 5, it still has the most fluid gameplay.
In addition to attractive graphics, the game is beginner-friendly but still offers a challenge if you want to master the gameplay. If you want to get into the groove of things, Street Fighter 6 offers a single-player campaign as well as three different control schemes to choose from, including classic, modern, and dynamic controls. Each focuses on a different playstyle.
2 Dragon's Dogma 2
A world of exploration
After Baldur's Gate 3 took the world by storm with its tabletop mechanics and colorful cast of characters, Dragon's Dogma 2 offers a similar but somewhat more realistic-looking experience. One look at this game, and you can immediately tell it's running on the RE engine.

1 Resident Evil 4 Remake
Familiar but fresh
The world of Resident Evil 4 has been given a spectacular makeover that is noticeably more detailed than before. However, the Resident Evil 4 remake faced a different challenge than other remakes in the franchise. Besides a graphical update, what could a remake of a modern game like Resident Evil 4 do for a title?
Leon is given several moments that show his transition from rookie cop to confused American agent. The gameplay has also been enhanced with quality-of-life updates, such as the ability to move while aiming, which was not present in the original version of the game. You don't have to open your inventory every time you want to change your gun.
