Some people climb mountains. Others run marathons. But the truly brave? They complete entire Resident Evil collections on Steam. And that’s exactly what one dedicated gamer just pulled off.
Completing every single Resident Evil game isn’t just about having too much free time. It’s about willpower. It’s about staring down every zombie, every Nemesis, every poorly aged control scheme from the 90s and saying “not today, Capcom.”
“I finally completed the Resident Evil collection!” — u/potato-xd on r/Steam
This isn’t some casual weekend achievement. The Resident Evil franchise spans nearly three decades of survival horror. We’re talking about games that range from masterpieces like RE2 and RE4 to… well, let’s just say Operation Raccoon City exists and leave it at that.
The collection includes everything from the genre-defining originals to the action-heavy Chris Redfield boulder-punching era to the recent masterful remakes. That’s a lot of inventory management, a lot of save room music, and way too many encounters with Mr. X stomping around like he pays rent.
But here’s where it gets real. Completing this collection means you’ve survived some truly punishing difficulty spikes. You’ve dealt with tank controls that feel like steering a shopping cart with broken wheels. You’ve probably thrown your controller at least once during those impossible Code Veronica save points.
And don’t get me started on the completionist nightmare that is getting S+ ranks across multiple games. Some of these achievements require perfect runs with limited saves, no bonus weapons, and the patience of a saint. It’s the kind of challenge that separates the casual horror fans from the truly dedicated.
The timing of this achievement is pretty perfect too. Resident Evil is having a renaissance right now. The remakes have been incredible, RE Village was a hit, and the franchise feels more alive than ever. Completing the collection now means you’ve experienced both the rough early days and the polished modern entries.
This kind of completionist dedication is becoming more common on Steam. The platform’s achievement system and collection features are driving players to tackle entire franchises rather than just individual games. It’s turned gaming into a more systematic hobby for some players.
The Resident Evil collection is particularly brutal because it doesn’t just test your gaming skills. It tests your tolerance for dated mechanics, your ability to adapt to wildly different gameplay styles, and your willpower to push through some genuinely terrible entries for the sake of completion.
Think about it. This player has experienced the pure terror of the original mansion, survived Raccoon City’s destruction multiple times, endured Leon’s terrible one-liners, and somehow made it through whatever the hell was happening in RE6’s campaigns. That’s dedication bordering on masochism.
But that’s what makes achievements like this special. Anyone can finish a single game. It takes something else entirely to commit to an entire franchise, especially one as inconsistent as Resident Evil has been over the years.
The Steam community loves these kinds of achievement posts because they represent something bigger than just gaming skill. They show persistence, dedication, and maybe a slight disregard for one’s own sanity. It’s the gaming equivalent of completing an ultra-marathon while being chased by zombies.
What’s really interesting is how Steam’s ecosystem encourages this behavior. The collection view, achievement tracking, and community features all work together to turn completion into a social experience. Your achievements become conversation starters and bragging rights.
This completion also comes at a great time for the franchise. With more RE remakes rumored and the series riding high on recent successes, new players are jumping in while veterans are revisiting classics. The collection represents the full journey of survival horror evolution.
Looking ahead, this kind of completionist culture isn’t slowing down. If anything, it’s accelerating. Game Pass and Steam sales make collecting entire franchises more affordable than ever. Plus, achievement hunters are always looking for their next big challenge.
The real question now is what’s next for potato-xd. Silent Hill collection? Fatal Frame series? Or maybe it’s time to touch grass and remember what sunlight feels like. Either way, they’ve earned their place in the pantheon of gaming completionists who refuse to back down from a challenge, no matter how many zombies stand in their way.
